Summary: Anna and her parents, political dissidents, emigrate from Poland to the US. They settle in Brooklyn among immigrants of every stripe, yet Anna never quite feels that she belongs. The summer she turns twelve, she is sent back to Kielce to visit her grandmother, and develops intense friendships with two local girls - brash and beautiful Justyna and desperately awkward Kamila. Their bond is renewed every summer when Anna returns... Years later, when Justyna suffers a terrible tragedy, it's the perfect excuse for Anna to abandon her own crisis in New York and hurry back to Poland. But when she arrives in her hometown, the reunion does not turn out as expected. It's time to face the past - everything it promised, and everything it shattered.
