Get lost in the life of a Finnish immigrant's daughter. Her parents didn't know a word of English when they landed on the Maritime shores of Canada. Her father was strong, but could be violent when he drank. Her mother learned to keep secrets and had unattainable expectations of Greta. She began to look for appreciation outside the family because she could never achieve the perfection her mother desired. She could impress her friends and the teenage boys who lusted after her. It wasn't long before her sun-kissed beauty led her down a dangerous path. She lost her virginity, but then she lost her identity.
