Raised by an opera singer and the family maid in Augusta, Georgia, Eli runs away with a draft dodger. When things don't go according to their plans, she must go live with her disc jockey and anit-war activist father in Webster Groves, Missouri, with a new wife and two young sons. Witnessing and sometimes participating in the protests, drug use, and musical fervor of the times, Eli learns about love, forgiveness, and survival.
