Hope, an orphaned fourteen-year-old spending the summer with her foster mother on a Nebraska farm, explores the farm's past through a series of family documents recorded by five generations of girls who have lived there before her. These individual, first-person historical stories are pieced together like a patchwork quilt in a carefully structured work full of recurring connections and patterns, and peopled with strong female characters.
