Massachusetts, California, Timbuktu

Justine and Rona reluctantly move with their mother, Colleen, from California to Utah and then to Massachusetts in hopes for a better life. That hope quickly fades as Colleen's chaotic crises worsen, further compounding Justine's own problems as she takes on the duties of caring for her younger sister along with suffering from the onslaught of adolescence. Assigned in class to keep a pioneer diary from a child's perspective, Justine creates an alternate harsh world where she is in charge and with persistence, she conveys herself and her sister over the treacherous terrain of childhood.

  • "Dragged from California to Utah to Massachusetts in the wake of their mother Colleen's chaotic existence, Justine and Rona watch as visions of the family's 'great new life' quickly fade. Colleen just can't get it together and Justine, reluctantly progressing toward the alien territory of adolescence, is increasingly called upon to act as caretaker for her younger sister. Assigned in class to keep a pioneer diary 'from a child's point of view', Justine invents an alternative world - not an easier place, but one where she's in charge and where, if she tries hard enough, she will be able to convey herself and her sister over the treacherous terrain of their childhood."@en
