Maggie (Magdalene) Stump is a single mother with a GED who is living in the dead-end town of Petroleum, West Virginia. She is the eldest daughter from a family of four children who were all named from the Bible. However, there is nothing holy about the Stump family. They are an odd-ball mix of druggies and drunks, linked together through shared history and common sorrows. Predictably dysfunctional, they all appear to be going nowhere fast. Then a catalyst comes into their lives in the form of a wild crazy circus clown, and change enters the formula. Maggie discovers talents that she didn't know she possessed, and just in time, as the entire family is perched on the brink of disaster. It is only through Maggie's newly-acquired psychic skills that she is able to save her brothers and sisters from certain self-destruction. This is a book about dreaming and the powers that lay within the heart.
