March Anne Tanner lives in Jubilee, GA with her brother, father and grandmother. At the change of each season, March Anne and her friends meet at a tulip poplar tree and change there names. Their secret names that is. But, the secret names are the least of the mysteries in March Anne\u2019s life. The more her grandmother tells her same stories over and over the less March Anne seems to know \u2013 whether it\u2019s her family history or how to make watermelon pickles. As her grandmother\u2019s health begins to fade, March Anne needs to delve deep into the stories and confront her past in a way she never has before.
