Samenvatting:

One hot week in August 1954 in Heaven, Indiana a baby is secretly delivered twice: first in a barn by her grandfather Lester, then to the tent door of a carnival fortune-teller by her grandmother Helen. Nadja grows up traveling the carnival circuit with her adoptive Granny, learning to develop her own gifts of precognition by reading the leftovers on Midwestern dinner plates.

In spite of the penchant Heaven's denizens have for quietly getting into each other's business, a great many secrets remain hidden, stuffed into apron pockets, tucked into attic trunks, locked into desk drawers, forgotten in underground passageways. When Nadja and Granny reappear in Heaven, and these stories are teased into the open, the town is forever changed.
