      One Day I'll Grow Up and Be a Beautiful Woman
    • Henrietta ist eine lebenshungrige junge Frau, die auf einer Farm in den Wäldern New Hampshires aufwächst. Elspeth ist 150 Jahre früher, Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts, aus Schottland an ebendiesen Ort gekommen. Und doch verbindet die beiden mehr als dieser Zufall. Beide geraten in Konflikt mit den Moralvorstellungen ihrer Zeit. Beide verschwinden aus dem Leben ihrer Familie. Und beide hinterlassen eine schmerzliche Lücke im Leben ihrer jüngeren Schwestern. Diese versuchen zu verstehen, was mit ihrem Geschwister geschehen ist. Denn tief in ihrem Inneren wissen sie, dass sie selbst nicht ganz frei von Schuld sind.
