In the summer of 1961, an innocent America eagerly anticipates the opening of a mysterious new theme park-the Ickack Pleasure Gardens. This park is rumored to be the dying wish of elusive tycoon Elijah Zallman Ickack: a desire for a place that can restore the joy and wonder of childhood written into his last will and testament. His great-nephew and heir, Freddy, must come forward to claim this fantastic, profitable, and improbable throne. Without Freddy, there can be no Ickack Gardens. But Freddy knows that there is more to this will, this park, and this man than the adoring public wants to think...

April Nimitz is recently widowed and is on the road, from Texas to Connecticut, to live with her daughters. She hopes to escape the multitude of her misdeeds and memories of her life in the hills of Texas, which include her time as a prisoner in an internment camp for German Americans during the second World War. These memories have, over time, corroded her into someone two-faced, someone who could beam and charm, as well as someone who could degrade and dominate her own children. Before leaving her small town of Himmel Creek for New England, she lashes out one last, and possibly fatal time, and does her best to beam and charm, all the while outrunning her crimes and pushing her daughters farther and farther away. Her only confidante is her husband's ghost, who reminds her of who she was and what she has done.
