When Danielle was a child, three women loomed large in her life: her gritty, responsible mother, her wild-child Aunt and their best friend. Now a young woman herself and facing the break-up of another relationship, Danielle takes stock of her childhood years--of an absent dad; of her fascination with a neighborhood -bad boy---and uncovers a story of everyday heroism and the strange tricks that memory can play.
