Sing Me Who You Are
Overview
Sometimes we are all in need of a change…
And a change is just what Harriet seeks when she quits her librarian job to move with her two Siamese cats into a musty, moldy, leaky old bus she inherited from her Aunt Esther.
Located in a field near her cousin Magda’s big house, the bus is considered by the locals as an impractical, eccentric habitat.
So Harriet is not at all surprised when her cousin Magda shows up to protest and question Harriet’s plans for the future should she sell the field.
Meanwhile, Harriet, who has never married and is considered plain, can’t help but be pleased that domineering Magda has lost her tweedy good looks…
Despite Magda being convinced that Harry will not last in the bus during the winter, at first Harriet finds herself enjoying the experience.
The woods and fields are beautiful, she plays with her cats, she reads a lot of poetry.
And Magda's husband Greg proves to be an amiable companion…
But there is another, unseen, presence on the land that haunts all three.
Scrubbs was the man with whom both Harriet and Magda fell in love, whose internment in a Japanese POW camp and subsequent death is, for Greg, an uncomfortable and menacing memory that one day must be exorcised…
Sing Me Who You Are is a tale of love and loss, and of finding oneself again in a changing world.
