Charlotte Lawson retails the time of when she was eleven, growing up in Vietnam war era Oklahoma on the goat farm her mother shared with her aunt, whom she learns isn’t really her aunt. The farm is run with the help of cantankerous, telling-it-like-it-is, eighty-two year-old Grandma Evee, whom she knows isn’t her grandmother, but is as close to being family as the rest of the eclectic mix that are in her life.
Things start to unravel with the return of her cousin, Daniel, paralyzed from the war. As Charlotte starts to come of age, she begins to see the world in a whole other light, as she learns that things are not always as they seem or ever were, as she thought they appeared to be.
