Eowyn's mom died when she was eight,t and her doctor dad has raised her and her Broadway-star older brother since then. Eowyn's dad is not as present in her life due to his focus on her brother and on his job. In contrast, Jules' dad is out of commission with a bad back, and her mom works at a hair salon but never misses a show (Eowyn's dad hasn't been to a show since the first summer). We go back in time with alternating past and present chapters, following the girls through the last five summers and the present one to see how their relationship fell apart and how their long-awaited roles as leads in Wicked may repair it."}
