More about the book

Set in the early 1960s, the story follows a naive adolescent girl from Ohio who moves to her father's home in Illinois after her parents' bitter divorce. As she navigates the complexities of her family's disintegration, she grapples with the cultural norms of small-town Midwestern life, ultimately discovering that neither her father's home nor her original environment provides the comfort and safety she desperately seeks.
