From the author of WHY GOD HAS GRAY HAIR comes a charming, poignant story about a family of Slavic immigrants living in a small Illinois town during the Great Depression. Narrated by an eleven-year-old girl, she learns about life and the mystery of human relationships from her older sisters. When she sees a boy drown, and witnesses the depraved behavior of a man she trusted, she begins to realize that reality bears little resemblance to the fantasies she sees in the movies she loves. Still, she never loses her sense of wonderment, or her conviction that better times lie ahead.
"This is fiction at its best, a story based on actual events well known to the author. It is an engrossing tale of how ordinary good kids can use bad judgment once in their young lives, and pay for their error forever." - Richard G. Wheeler, author, Decade of Innocence.
