It was mid-December in Jonah, Indiana, a place where Fate can be decided by the weather, and a storm was gathering overhead." So Haven Kimmel, bestselling author of A Girl Named Zippy, prepares us to enter The Used World -- a world where big hearts are frequently broken and sometimes repaired, where the newfangled and the old-fashioned battle it out in daily encounters both large and small, where wondrous things unfold just beneath the surface...

Like her first novel, The Solace of Leaving Early (2002), Kimmel's second is set in a fictional small town in Indiana. Cassie Claiborne, the most grounded person in her family, longs for her feckless father to return home but in the meantime, she grows into a young woman and shoulders the burden herself. Unabridged.

Cassie Claiborne's world is riddled with problems beyond her control: her hard-living, pool-shooting father has another wife, her mother can't seem to move herself mentally away from the kitchen window, and her sister Belle is a tempest of fragility and brilliance. Frustrated by her inability to care for so many, Cassie finds in the local pool hall an oasis of green felt where she can master objects and restrain her emotions. As Cassie grows ...

Kimmel's powerful storytelling is in evidence in this riveting continuation of Zippy's childhood--a story of risk-taking, motherly love, and small-town heroism. The author introduces new friends as readers put together the puzzle of Zippy's life as she works out what is happening to her nuclear family.

A dark psychological suspense-come-ghost-story, about one family, buried under the weight of their own secrets. And a visitor, determined to destroy them.
