"In the words of Melody Simpson, their mother, Emmy was born with thick skin and Virginia with no skin at all." "It is on Bali and Skye, two islands as far apart as geography allows, that the sisters independently reassess their place in the world and gingerly find the new bearings that will allow each to renegotiate the circumstances of their lives with newfound acceptance and flexibility."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
