Nell and Lydia are best friends, both daughters of neglectful, selfish mothers. When they're forbidden to spend time together because their moms have argued, Nell devises a way for them to meet at Lodema, an abandoned golf and mini-golf course. This is a story of leisurely self-discovery and emotional survival, a serene, thoughtful mix of family difficulties and summer magic.
