Eleanor shares a day with us.  A day of discoveries, both internal and external.  Through this day, we are also invited into flashbacks to her childhood with a neglectful, critical mother, a horrible step brother and a childhood friend/love she has never forgotten. We learn about family dynamics, loyalty, love, friendship, all in a spectrum of honest, raw feelings.
