Three sisters living on a Midwestern farm in 1934 narrate their stories of hardship, crime, fantasy, and love.
Eleven-year-old Irene is arrogant, over-confident, and.
Seven-year-old Nellie see the world through magical eyes with visions of local Indians, sky dancers, and a boy from outer space.
Each voice is distintive and conveys its own interpretation of shared events: the appearance of a sinister revivalist preacher, hunger-driven train riders, and the backwoods discovery of a dead baby.
