Aprašymas

SO MANY SECRETS A coming-of-age story in 1953 small Alberta. A town struggling to come to grips with the aftermath of World War II. The people in Deep Creek think they have returned to normal, but there is nothing normal about Nathalie Smythe's life. The youngest child in a family still torn apart by complications caused by war, Nathalie (Tally) tells her troubles to her dead grandfather and uncles. When she discovers something that is "...not the kind of thing you can tell a granddad either, no matter how dead he is" she confides in her 'Dearest Diary', her only constant friend. Tally is forced into action when her friend Mary is accused of a crime she didn't commit and is in danger of being sent to the Red Deer Provincial Training School of Mental Defectives. As small secrets beget larger secrets how can an intrepid young woman bring to light enough proof to convince adults the truth about what she has discovered?
