Ellen Margolis is an assistant curator at the Foundation for the Preservation of Memory in San Francisco, where she records the testimony of Holocaust survivors before the War's last witnesses vanish. She has come to consider herself an expert in emotional containment, but when Ellen and her girlfriend Francine decide to get married, Ellen finds herself set upon by her own lingering ghosts. As the two young women beat their own early path toward marriage equality, Ellen's longing to plumb a legacy of intergenerational silence draws her into a clandestine entanglement with a wily Holocaust survivor--a woman with more to hide than tell--and a search for buried history.
