Description
Dorothy's life in 1968 is one of quiet solitude. Her English father, who has suffered a childhood injury, keeps his voice barely above a whisper, and Dorothy and her mother have been tucked away from the rest of the world to avoid embarrassment.
But when she stumbles upon a small, faded zoo on the outskirts of town, Dorothy's life begins to change. The eccentric women who live there become her unlikely friends, introducing her to a world beyond the one she has known so far.
As Dorothy navigates this new world, she must rely on herself for entertainment and companionship. With no other children in town at camp, she finds solace in the quirky group of women who have taken up residence at the zoo.
