In 1844, in a still-young America, the first intimations of civil war are stirring throughout the land. In Zanesville, Ohio, the Sitturd family, Hephaestus, a clubfooted inventor; his wife, Rapture, a Creole from the Sea Islands; and their prodigiously gifted six-year-old son, Lloyd, whose libido is a precocious as his intellect, are forced to flee the only home they have ever known for an uncertain future in Texas, whence Hephaestus' half-brother, Micah, has sent them a mysterious invitation, promising riches and wonders too amazing to be entrusted to paper.--From back cover.
