And then a chain of events sends Rocky into the past, reliving both the tenderness and sorrow of a handful of long-ago summers.It's one precious week in this moving work of family life fiction: everything is in balance; everything is in flux. And when Rocky comes face to face with her familys history and future, she is forced to accept that she can no longer hide her secrets from the people she loves.
