Description

Within the candor and innocence of a child's mind emerges an extraordinary true story--Popcorn Poppin' on the Apricot Tree. It's 1965, and Annie Peters is just eight-years-old when her mother is committed full-time to a mental health institution. Uprooted by their mother's illness, Annie and her siblings find themselves torn between a Catholic-run orphanage and the final remnants of their shattered home. But nothing could have prepared the nuns of St. Vincent's Home for five vivacious Peters children, whose adolescence comes to mirror a much larger upheaval between the evolving Catholic institutions of the sixties and a burgeoning American pop culture. Vividly portrayed from an outspoken, often comical perspective, Popcorn Poppin' on the Apricot Tree celebrates an unusual coming of age story with a nostalgic look back at a bittersweet time in American history, and the frayed but unbroken ties of enduring family love.
