Description: The sudden suicide of Griselda's father releases a flood of memories. Daddy had been a captive of the Japanese during World War II and, though he would not discuss the war with his daughters, the repercussions of his imprisonment and torture had darkened her childhood years. Only after Daddy's death does the adult Griselda begin to piece together the true source of his pain, fractured across long-lost diary pages and her father's mysterious relationship with the family that used to live next door.

As she struggles to salvage a collapsing love affair, Griselda must find the strength to face the worst things about herself if she is ever to make peace with her father's life and death.
