Summary:
"When young Barbara Bracht's mother disappears from her life (no one tells her that she has died), she is left a confused child whose blue-collar father is intent upon erasing any memory of his dead wife. Forced to keep the secret of her mother's existence from her brother, Bracht struggles to keep from being crushed under the weight of family secrets as she comes of age and strives to educate herself despite her father's stance against women's education, a journey that culminates in a visit to her mother's grave nearly twenty years after her death."--Provided by the publisher.
