During the troubled period of the Great Depression and two wars, a deaf girl comes of age in a small rural town where the keeping of family secrets often requires desperate measures. Camille is a complex story of five people whose lives become a tangle of love, fear, secrecy, disappointment, and anger that nearly destroys all of them. Camille deftly dramatizes the tragic consequences of silence among family and friends, but never relinquishes a belief that truth will save them, even when natural and human forces are out of their control.
