A mixture of magical realism and war-set family drama revolving around a little
girl, Gem, who's ability to communicate with animals assists her in her
search to locate her father, who has gone missing in action at the
height of World War II. It is at once an intimate portrait of a small
Ohio town affected by war and an emotional epic about the enduring love
between husband and wife and father and daughter.
