• In the mid-1950s
• A fifteen-year-old African American teenager named Mary White (now Mary Norman) traveled north from Virginia to work for twelve-year-old Wendy Sanford's family as a live-in domestic for their summer vacation by a remote New England beach
• Over the years
• Wendy's family came to depend on Mary's skilled service--and each summer
• Mary endured the extreme loneliness of their elite white beachside retreat in order to support her family
• As the Black help and the privileged white daughter
• Mary and Wendy were not slated for friendship
• But years later--each divorced
• Each a single parent
• Mary now a rising officer in corrections and Wendy a feminist health activist--they began to walk the beach together after dark
