Penny is the youngest of four kids in an age of Baby Boomers, known on her street as the girl with the mean brothers. She's always the youngest kid in a game and her pleas for attention are mostly ignored. Her summers are spent at Go Home Lake, passing the days in a soaked bathing suit, catching frogs, and getting her daily fill of fresh air. Her father's weekend visits to the cottage are sporatic, and her brothers prey on her innocence. Told from the perspective of Penny looking back on those pivotal summers, Go Home Lake is the heart-wrenching story of sexual abuse inside a normal family.
