- Summary
- "In her second novel, Logic, Vernon returns to the Deep South to conjure up a story of a young girl's struggle to free herself from the unspeakable condition she refers to as "the butterflies floating inside" her." "Thirteen-year-old Logic Harris almost died when she fell from a tree as a young girl. Since rescuing Logic that day, her mother, Too, has secretly wished Logic had not survived the accident and now ignores the increasingly apparent evidence of the aberrant attention Logic's father bestows upon his daughter. As Too retreats to the Missis' house down the road, where she works as a domestic, Logic's father withdraws further into paranoia, and Logic is left to navigate alone what she scarcely understands. Attempting to decipher her own body, she studies her doll Celesta, comparing it to an anatomy drawing given to her by the boy across the road, himself a sexually confused child who lives with his prostitute mother."--BOOK JACKET.
