Abigail Richard's earliest memory is wading with her mother in the cool waters of the creek near their home. The dark-skinned child of a mixed relationship--the only one in their turn-of-the century pioneer town--Gail finds herself ostracized in a way that only her mother understands. When her mother must leave her behind, Gail finds herself caught up in a struggle against other people's desires for how she should live her life. It is only when Gail dives into the water's depths for protection that she finally learns where she and her mother truly come from.
