The only piece of information that Summer Davis takes away from her years at Peninsula Upper School is the concept that DNA defines who we are and forever ties us to our relatives. A loner by circumstance, Summer hangs on to her interest in genetics like a life raft, through her mother's abandonement and her father's descent into mental illness. But it is only when Summer decides to leave New York herself and put off a promising science career to take care of her great-aunt Stella that Summer begins to learn that her biography doesn't have to define her and that her future, like her DNA, belongs to her alone. |
