"Everything has been hidden from Roxanne G. -- her birth name, her sister, her family history -- until her "boyfriend" tries to ingratiate himself by flying in her estranged mother from Tel Aviv. That visit is the start of a tumultuous journey, in which she first learns about a profoundly disabled sister who lives in a residential community in the Galilee, and later begins to unearth disturbing long-held family secrets.
