Present day, Izzy Stone's mother fatally shot her father 10 years ago. Izzy believes that mom is mentally ill, although she's serving life in prison, and refuses to read her letters or visit her. A foster child, Izzy, now in her late teens, is taken in by a new set of foster parents who are cataloging items at a closed mental asylum. As Izzy assists, she finds the diary of 18 yo Clara, who was committed by her father in 1929 because she wanted to marry an Italian Immigrant. The story flows back and forth with Izzy's struggles to fit in at yet another school, and Clara's story - some of which was in the diary and some from memories. Izzy has to confront a truth - if Clara wasn't mentally ill after all, maybe her mother wasn't either?
