Description
It is 1956, and 13-year-old Sister must raise her three siblings on her own. Taking charge of her life, she befriends a kindly neighbor named Willa, who appears to be everything that her neglectful mother is not. But when a respected and powerful man in town notices that Sister is blossoming--unsupervised--into quite a young woman, trouble starts to brew.
