description: 1939, the end of an era. A Midwestern town drowses by a deep-running river a town of shimmering lawns and Edwardian formality, of grown-up secrets and unspoken passions. Eight-year-old Tommy MacAllister is the explorer in this current, finding, in the eddies of innocence, sweet and frightening truths about the adult world around him- truths about a tranquil world flowing inexorably toward chang.
