Sights by Susanna Vance

A quirky novel about an accordian-playing, future-seeing, father-fleeing girl, who's named Baby Girl, and her mother.  A delight.

Lead:
I was in the womb eleven and a half months, came our fat, durable and gorgeous.  I've seen the newborn pictures:  smooth broad ears, a few sharp little teeth glinting like Chiclets.

Closing:
My past and future lives gathered in the dark, so many of them, I fell asleep counting.
