The only family member that Merit feels a connection with and wants to spend any time with is Moby, who is easy to love. Their son, Moby, provides some rare moments of happiness to those around him, despite his mother monitoring his every move rather than allowing him to just be a curious four year old. Their rarely-present, laid back father lives with his second wife, Victoria, who was his younger mistress and the reason his first marriage failed. Their brother, Utah, only a year older than the twins, appears as perfect and wholesome as they come, which drives Merit crazy. In fact, they barely have anything to do with one another and are like polar opposites. Merit and her twin sister, Honor, do not share any special twin connections or abilities to read each other closely. Merit’s family of seven is quite possibly the most oddly dysfunctional family I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading about in a book. Merit, a 17 year old senior in high school, has quite the interesting life. Without Merit is due for publication on October 3, 2017.
