\u201cEvery summer, Esther and Joseph Adler rent their house out to vacationers escaping to \u201cAmerica\u2019s Playground\u201d and move into the small apartment above their bakery. This is the apartment where they raised their two daughters, Fannie and Florence. Now Florence has returned from college, determined to spend the summer training to swim the English Channel, and Fannie, pregnant again after recently losing a baby, is on bedrest for the duration of her pregnancy. After Joseph insists they take in a mysterious young woman whom he recently helped emigrate from Nazi Germany, the apartment is bursting at the seams.<\/p>\n
When tragedy strikes, Esther makes the shocking decision to hide the truth\u2014at least until Fannie\u2019s baby is born\u2014and pulls the family into an elaborate web of secret-keeping and lies, bringing long-buried tensions to the surface that reveal how quickly the act of protecting those we love can turn into betrayal after tragedy.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
