description: A kidnapping, a murder, a jailbreak. If this were Winnie Foster's story only, it would like any other great adventure: you could come to the end, with all resolved, and that would be that. But this is also the story of the Tuck family and therefore, though it has a beginning and a middle, it can never end.The two stories cross near the village of Treegap during a handful of hot August days in the 1880's, days which are a curious mixture of violence and love, of anguish and tranquility. And when those days are over, young Winnie is left to make a fundamental choice. What she chooses at last is not what she might have chosen at first. For when you have known the Tucks as Winnie has, however briefly, you can never be quite the same again.
