A
bold, riveting debut novel of desire, betrayal, and loss, centering on three
teenage girls, a horse ranch, and the tragic accident that changes everything.
Rory Ramos is a dutiful
teenager with a love of photography who works as a ranch hand at the stable her
stepfather manages in Topanga Canyon, California, a dry, dusty place reliant on
horses and hierarchies. There she rides for the rich clientele, including twins
June and Wade Fisk. June begins to take an interest in Rory—but she is more
drawn to Vivian Price, the beautiful teenager with the movie-star father, who
lives down the hill, and Rory can’t help noticing, swims in her pool nearly
every night. Rory’s ambiguous roots and blue-collar upbringing keep her largely
separate from the likes of the Prices and the Fisks—until her stepfather is
involved in a tragic car accident. From that moment on, the lives of these teenagers
become inextricably linked—are they friends or foes, lovers or rivals?—sparking
a series of events that come to a head the night a wildfire tears through
Topanga Canyon, and Rory’s life is changed forever.
Kept Animals is narrated by
Rory’s daughter, Charlie, twenty years after that fateful 1993 fire. Rory is
away on assignment as a war photographer, and Charlie knows the key to her own
existence lies in the story of what happened during that unseasonably warm
fall. And without her mother to tell her the truth, she must unravel it by
herself.
Taut, propulsive, and
gorgeously written, Kate Milliken’s debut is a searing exploration of girlhood,
class, and fate.
