Description: Nine-year-old Lottie feels trapped. Her divorced mother has brought her three children from the U.S. to England, en route to what she believes is their religious destiny in the Holy Land. Her schoolmates think she's odd. Her twenty-four-year old piano tutor, Rory, says he's in love with Lottie but she is as frightened by his insistence on keeping their relationship secret as she is confused by his touches.
