In the fictional village of Rocky Point, Cape Breton, just after WWII, the Briar family keeps a secret. Locked in his room, Joseph Briar, a child with visible and non-visible disabilities, is hidden from the community. And what Alfie Johns discovers through Joseph s window will lead him to love and a future framing beauty in photographs. Harkening back to Steinbeck s Of Mice and Men and Frances Hodgson Burnett s The Secret Garden, Beatrice MacNeil reveals the destructive power of shame and the redemptive power of art.
