In the chaotic multicultural atmosphere of Golden Grove, with African, Asian, Native American, and 'Putagee' voices mingling to create an exuberant language of Guyana's own, four little girls, two sets of sisters, all on the brink of puberty, are growing up.

Against the background of their growing up is the disintegration of the state they live in, an encroaching but mysterious (to the children) political threat as state control tightens.
