Can't find title/author anywhere!
I read this book in the early to mid 90's. I could've sworn the title was "ceremony" or "ceremonies," but I can't find it anywhere. I don't remember the author. This is what I remember: Father and daughter move back to a town. Daughter is like an albino, she has white hair and red eyes (I think). The town they move to is where her mother is from, she's dead. There is a community that also has albino children and a woman that is kind of like a mother supierior. I remember a lot a secrecy and a cave. They would hold a ceremony in a cave and something (creature?? ) would come out of. After the person would come out of the cave, it would be as if they had a labodomy. They were not the same person. I also remember that kids or people where beaten badly. The main character was against what was going on. That's all I remember. If you can help, please do. I have been looking for this book for years!!
Thanks...
