Summary Atlantic City, 1934. Every summer, Esther and Joseph Adler rent their house out to holidaymakers and move into the apartment above the bakery they own. The apartment is where they raised their two daughters, Fannie and Florence, and, despite the cramped quarters, it still feels like home. 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, leaving her seven-year-old daughter Gussie in Esther's care. When tragedy strikes during one of Florence's practice swims, Esther decides to keep the truth about Florence's death from Fannie. She pulls the family into an elaborate web of secrets and lies, forcing to the surface long-buried tensions that show just how quickly the act of protecting those we love can turn into betrayal.
