THE STORY OF

BEAUTIFUL GIRL

RACHEL SIMON

'Beautiful storytelling that

pulls you right in' RED

一九六八年美國賓州，當時殘疾人士泰半被丟到慈善機構、為世人所遺忘的如此年代。

在一個風雨交加的夜晚，某個美國小鎮，一對渾身濕透急切的夫妻，敲著一戶陌生人家的大門。當退休老師瑪莎趨前應門，她的生活自此改變……

Pennsylvania, 1968: a time when people with disabilities were shut away in institutions, forgotten by the world.

On a stormy night in small-town America, a couple, desperate and soaked to the skin, knock on a stranger's door. When Martha, a retired schoolteacher, answers their knock, her world changes for ever.

Her visitors are Lynnie and Homan, who have fled The School for the Incurable and Feebleminded with their newborn baby. But the police are closing in and their freedom is about to be snatched away. Moments before she is taken back to the School, bound and tied, Lynnie utters two words to Martha: 'Hide her.' And so begins the heart-rending story of Lynnie, Homan, Martha and baby Julia - lives divided by seemingly insurmountable obstacles, but drawn together by a secret pact and extraordinary love.
