Hillary Huber narrates the story of Lacey and Edith, former friends from different worlds who come together to face and heal their forty-year estrangement. Hummel's powerful prose is brought to life by Huber's lyrical voice. Lacey, the child of immigrants who escaped from Germany in the 1930s as Hitler came into power and found success in California, befriended Edith, daughter of the caretaker at the summer camp where they met and began a surprisingly strong friendship. Later, when they confront each other, Edith has a determined voice as she forces the reclusive Lacey to hear her side of their story. Lacey sounds more aloof and resistant, but slowly reopens her heart. Huber gives Lacey's parents, Papi and Mutti, voices that carry hints of their German roots.
