Lesley's Hungarian mother Mara - charming, childlike, lovable - was traumatized by her adolescent Holocaust experiences. Though her American husband and daughters try to live a normal life in Kansas, Mara holds them thrall to her moods and quirks. Lesley struggles to understand, but dealing with Mara is a severe strain which sets her apart from her peers.
When Mara's psychosis results in tragedy, Lesley goes to Wales in search of her mother's remembered joy, a sunflower forest.
