Eight-year-old Pearl tries very hard to get things right. She watches over her small brother and manages her mother's happiness, while carefully guarding her private passions.

In ways connected but unforeseen, Pearl's tragedy will soon affect the worlds of these two strangers. A gripping, seductive novel about our times.
