This book tore me up. I watched Tennyson grow as a character and then backslide into even more selfish behavior, and it made me furious with him while identifying with him at the same time. The abuse scenes with Uncle Hoyt were beyond wrenching.
This quote (from page 303) was a key to the whole book for me.
"And all because we longed for healing and happiness -- as if happiness is a state of being. But it's not. Happiness is a vector. It's *movement*. Like my own momentum across the pool, joy can only be defined by the speed at which you're moving away from pain."
