At only six-years-old, Tildy McVee has an extraordinary talent for reading people. The heavy burden of this 'gift' comes to a head one Summer, as her family struggle to try find their way through the free-wheeling decade of the 1970s. Secrets are revealed, loyalties are tested and no one is prepared for the eventual fallout. As Tildy gets older, the aftershocks of these events continue to ricochet through the tumultuous 80s, the self-conscious 90s and the beginning of a new millennium. Everyone has their part to play in each other’s lives - even those who have since crossed over to the other side.
