After three years without speaking, Colette's former best friend Sadie begs Colette to join her on a family vacation to Greece. As Sadie's secrets begin to surface, Colette examines her own choices and her role as the perfect daughter of religious conservatives. Carter handles Sadie's homosexuality and Colette's resulting confusion with grace, mixing high emotion with childhood flashbacks that balance the scale.
