Story

The story

On the night of her eighth birthday, Maisie learns she has an eighteen-year-old brother. Rowan, abandoned at birth and raised in rural backwater, appears at the family home, where her parents dismiss him as hired help and hide him in a basement utility room. Floating lines of text reveal his near-perfect SAT score, his plan to attend college, and his parents' scheme to block his enrollment so he can work warehouse shifts to fund Maisie's life.

When Maisie begs her parents to let Rowan go to college, her father accuses her of being manipulated and insists the factory floor is all Rowan is good for. Rowan, his resentment nearly maxed out, coldly rejects her offers of toys and her room, warning that she will grow up just like them. The next day, her father drives him to the family warehouse, where he hauls crates without pay.

Maisie is left watching the brother she just found being used and cast aside, and she refuses to accept it.

Opening excerpt

On the evening of my eighth birthday, I discovered for the very first time that I had an eighteen-year-old brother.

The party was in full swing when the front door swung open, letting in a draft of chill autumn air.
