A Caribbean country on the verge of collapse. A small town called Boundary. A rambling house inhabited by three generations of the Abrahams family. And a little girl who is trying to make sense of it all. Bethany Bettany is five years old when her father dies and her mother leaves her to fend for herself in the Abrahams household.
