1973 Lubbock, Texas is the setting for this tale of mystery and the hidden lives of children as told by an eight year old girl. Her "vivid imagination resulting in hyperbole" sheds light on a local woman's suicide, as well as providing a rare insight into the secret lives of her and her sisters. Holidays and school events create the timeline, as that is how children tell time, and retell some humorous vignettes regarding family, friendship, and budding love. She has the support of the many adults in her life, yet they are often seen in opposition to her imagination.
