The entire year is 1970. In the blue-collar suburb of Boston, two eleven year-old Catholic females battle to come old in a culture still very much dominated by men. They watch in dismay as their fathers and priests determine the lives of the women around them. Loyalty to family and cathedral is paramount; women and children undergo in silence somewhat than expose the men who do them damage. Frances Orillio is an adopted, only child; she is self-critical, restless, and susceptible. Maddy Malone is one of six children, and grew up in a hard housing job scrapping with the males. Although they are strikingly different in nature, they forge an enduring friendship on the path to becoming strong, independent women. Mutually, they struggle the tangled jungle of ignorance, racism, and homophobia that goes hand in hand with the culturally entrenched discrimination against women. Like the treacherous streets in a fresh England winter, the way is fraught with concealed dangers. Family secrets and lays are like the unseen black ice over a bridge: if you don't look out for the signs, it could be deadly.
