Aberrations, an edgy novel set in the late 1980's Deep South focuses on Angel Duet, a young woman struggling with narcolepsy. She also wrestles with the secrets her father keeps. His suspicious refusal to discuss her mother's death years ago has driven Angel to worship an image created from the little history she does have: his sketchy stories and her mother's treasured photography, images of clouds that have hung in their foyer for twenty years.
When her father's girlfriend Carla, a tough, perfectionist attorney, moves in, the photographs come down, and Angel's search for truth becomes an obsession. As she struggles to uncover the past and gain control over the narcolepsy that often fogs her world, Angel descends into a dizzying realm of drugs, adultery, and confused desire that further obscures reality.
As Angel begins to expose a history she could never have imagined, she learns that her entire life has been anchored around lies.
