Summary:
"In a story that deals with the extraordinary challenges in raising a child with severe special needs, 'The Matter of Sylvie' is an intricately woven novel that features three narrators and takes place over three Wednesdays, three decades. This Wednesday in July 1961 begins like any other for Jacqueline Burrows. She is the mother of three children, including her sweet daughter Sylvie. The mother's impulses on that Wednesday, combined with her absent husband and her other young children, culminate in an event that echoes into the next two decades. Decisions reverberate over the course of decades and resound in the individual, pivotal Wednesdays of both her husband, Lloyd, in February of 1973, and her adult daughter, Lesa, in October 1987."--Publisher.
