This is the story of sisters Katherine and Tommy Stewart, and their mother Glenna, in the early twentieth century. Glenna is on fire for the right of women while Tommy cares for Katherine, begging, trapping animals, anything to keep the small family afloat so Katherine can go to school. After Katherine graduates, Tommy decides to finally do something for herself, but that decision will have serious repercussions for both she and her sister. From Ohio, to London, from a little house in Maine to a psychiatric hospital, this multi-generational story of women is both profound and beautiful
