First published 1990
Megan lives in the suffocating atmosphere of her family's glass house, where every emotion feels exposed and fragile. The transparent walls that should let in light instead seem to trap the weight of unspoken truths and simmering tensions. When long-buried family secrets begin to surface, Megan must navigate the delicate balance between loyalty and self-preservation. Her relationships with her parents and siblings grow increasingly strained as she struggles to understand her place in a household built on silence and carefully maintained facades. The glass walls that once promised openness now feel like a prison, reflecting distorted versions of the people she thought she knew. As Megan comes of age in this crystalline environment, she discovers that transparency can be both a blessing and a curse, forcing her to confront not only her family's hidden past but also her own uncertain future.
