Two little girls, two naked savages living in their own wild world, with their dog, named Dog.

One little girl, born in 1927, tormented by the voices in her head and the fear that people will find out about them and lock her up.

Another little girl, born in 1948, uprooted again and again until she has no friends but books, no homeland but her own mind.

One little girl grows up into a charismatic and needy and volatile woman who can't live without applause.

One little girl grows up sullen and solitary, with no social graces. Her mother relies on her and calls her "Sister."  

They are never exactly girls at the same time, though the teenager often feels like the mother of a teenager, her mother.

One woman starts calling herself old, too soon.

One woman grows weary and resentful at being so constantly needed.

One woman dies. 

One woman writes about her mother.

Then the two little wild girls arrive, from somewhere. Can they get to know each other, love each other, forgive each other?

Two Little Girls: a daughter's journey to acceptance, compassion and healing
