It's 1962 and all across America barriers are collapsing. But when Natalie Marx"s mother inquires about summer accommodations in Vermont, she gets the following reply: The Inn at Lake Devine is a family-owned resort, which has been in continuous operation since 1922. Our guests who feel most comfortable here, and return year after year, are Gentiles. Fot twelve-year old Natalie, who has a stubborn sense of justice, the words are not a rebuff but an infuriating, irrestible challenge.
