But on the day that Bertie receives her eighthgrade diploma, good intentions go terribly wrong, setting off a chain of misunderstandings that will send the sisters on separate paths and reverberate through their daughters and granddaughters lives.
What happens when nothing turns out as you planned? From the Depression through World War IIand Vietnam, and smaller events both tragic and joyful, Bertie and Mabel forge unexpected identities and raise daughtersand sistersof their own, learning that love and betrayal are even more complicated than they seem. Gorgeously written, with extraordinary insight and emotional truth, Nancy Jensens debut novel illuminates the farreaching power of family and family secrets.
