- Synopsis
- Ingrid and Greg Snow were a pigeon pair -- twins -- one male, one female, just like the two eggs that hatch in a pigeon's nest. Against the backdrop of a seacoast town in Maine, eighteen-year-old Ingrid Snow tells the stark, poignant story of their growing up. Life in a crowded tarpaper shack did have its joys, but these were always shadowed by Papa's pride, Mama's day-dreamin', and each year, it seemed, another little mouth to feed. If it hadn't been for Ingrid and Greg's one crazy determination to buy back the beautiful, ancestral Snow home on the main road, there would have been no incentive to leave the back road "camp." Elisabeth Ogilvie has woven a tense, moving drama about a town, a family --and poverty.
