Growing up in a house full of women, fourteen-year-old Grayling learns to deal with death, love, and the unanswered questions raised by her widowed mother's apparent abandonment.

Every story should have a beginning, a middle, and an end. That’s the way it is at grandmother’s house where tea is served each day at four and tales of death and divorce, illness and abandonment are shared by grandmother’s circle of friends. The women watch over one another and eveyone watches over Grayling — whose own story has never been told her to hear.

But in a summer of many changes, fourteen-year-old Grayling encounters love and romance, joy and saddness… and the need to know her own story — from the very beginning.
