In 1980, eleven-year-old Finch struggles to cope with her father's recent death, her mother's depression, bullying from her brother's friend, and her feelings of being different. A friendship with new neighbor Pinky and her Hindu family brings Finch comfort and a better understanding of herself through exposure to another culture. A first-person narrative lends an intimate perspective to a plot-driven, multi-themed historical story.
