Mystery and reality are what families are.

In the year 1947, Michelle, a six-year-old Canadian-American girl, responds to her father’s call and is very confused when her grandmother becomes furious with the man’s beckoning. As a result, the girl is sent to a boarding school in Canada, where the episode, filled with secrecy, continues to trouble her greatly.

In the meantime, she becomes friends with a boy named JP. When she tells him about a picture of the good “God the Father” in her book, they decide to go look for him, and they meet an American ex-convict named Ivan, who looks like the picture! He returns to her life years after.

At the end of the school year, Michelle is sent to live with her aunt Lena in New Hampshire, and wonders why she cannot return home. Finally, at sixteen years old, the family secret is revealed, and she is devastated. How wrong and confused she had been about her mother and father.

Eventually, Ivan and JP, now also an ex-convict, return into her life, and they form a lasting friendship…and more…
