1969. Every year the Levin children have looked forward to spending the summer at their grandmother's historic home in downtown Nantucket. But this year Blair, the oldest sister, is marooned in Boston, pregnant with twins and unable to travel. Middle sister Kirby, caught up in the thrilling vortex of civil rights protests, takes a summer job on Martha's Vineyard. Tiger is an infantry soldier, recently deployed to Vietnam. Thirteen-year-old Jessie suddenly feels like an only child, marooned in the house with her out-of-touch grandmother and her worried mother, each of them hiding a troubling secret. -- adapted from jacket
