Being raised in a small town can be ideal, despite horrible problems around the world. This was especially true in the 1940s and 1950s. Barbara Gelman, Mia Wagner and Colleen O'Connor were proof of this when they became the best of friends despite backgrounds that were completely different. Normal teenagers in every aspect of their lives, they instinctively knew what to tell their parents and when to keep their mouths shut. Tragedy strikes one of the three girls, and everyone's patience is tried. Will the other girls' viewpoints help them to stand by their friend? Who will win in the end?
