Who Will Run the Frog Hospital?

We share a mature woman's bittersweet longing for the wildness of her childhood in this compelling, tragic book from the bestselling author of Birds of America.

Berie worked at Storyland in upstate New York with her closest friend Sils the summer she turned fifteen. Berie sold tickets to watch the stunning Sils play Cinderella in a strapless evening gown. During their breaks, they gossiped, joked, and smoked. Following their own wild rules after work, they teased the pleasure out of small town life, slept in the family station wagon, and drank booze they swiped from discarded mayonnaise jars. However crazy, they've always been able to avoid any serious danger until Berie, who is really devoted to Sils, realizes that she actually needs her support, at which point everything changes.
