It
is the first time Darra goes to a camp to stay but her mother insist that it
will be good for her. Darra feels so out
of place and then she see Wren and stares in disbelief! How is it possible that
of all people and of all places, Wren would be here in her cabin. How can
either of them deal with the terrible secret that exist between them? When Wren was eight years old, she and her
mother had been out shopping. The last stop was supposed to be a quick run into
the store and so Wren stayed in the car
with her mothers bag. That is when it happened! A man came running out of the
store and jumped into car not realizing Wren was in the back. Wren became so
frighten but she did not panic and she made herself very tiny and hid in the
back. The man never noticed her. At the mans’ house Wren stayed hidden and only
came out when it was quiet. Darra realized the little girl was there and tried
helping her by leaving food and water. Both girl were eight years old. Wren
manage to escape and the man was apprehended. That man was Darra’s father.
6 years later Darra and Wren meet each other again at the camp grounds and must deal with past in order to be able to move on into the future. How can they forget or forgive each other for the role they played in each other’s lives when the incident happened?
A story told through poetry. Each girls tells their side of the story and how they can solve their problem. We see the story unfold through each girl’s eyes and we feel the pain each one has gone through for something neither girl had any control over a situation that involved both of them.
The resolution is interesting and raises the question of the possibility of forgiveness. Both girls must try to find a middle ground so that they can move on and leave the whole incident behind them and in the past once and for all.
