Seven days before summer vacation begins, fifty-seven days before her seventeenth birthday, Noelle finds her father's camera on her bed. Her father died seventeen years ago, seven months before she was born. Her mother is still so heart-broken that she is only able to share the details of their life together in bits and pieces, snapshots. An avid photographer, Noelle finds herself rising early, despite it being summer vacation and prime-time to sleep in, to begin exploring her world through this new lens, hoping, as her friend Trevor suggests, that it will help her see pieces of her father as well.
