Single mother Harpa has always been a misfit. Her physical description is similar to no other Icelander: So small she self-deprecatingly identifies herself as a dwarf, so dark-skinned she doubts her genetic connect to her parents, so strange she practically believed the children who mistook her for a mythical creature of the forest. Even while an adult, she struggles to make sense of her put in place the earth.So when she sees how her teenage daughter, Edda, has suffered since an in depth friend's drug overdose, Harpa does not have any choice but to tear her from her friends in the town. She enlists the assistance of a friend and loads her reprobate daughter and their belongings into a pickup truck, setting out on the road visit to Iceland's bucolic eastern fjords.Because they drive through the starkly beautiful landscape, winding around volcanic peaks, battling fierce windstorms, and forging ahead to a verdant valley, their personal vulnerabilities feel somehow less hazardous. The natural world, with all its contrasts, offers Harpa solace and the chance to think about her past in order to open her heart.
