Born with a split lip and cleft palate, Toshy Wolfman's life is an
uphill battle. Believing he is dim-witted and ugly, Toshy finds his
resentment slowly building as he is ridiculed, used, and misled.
Ultimately, he is imprisoned after being caught stealing a valuable
and famous diamond, the Orange Sunset. But Toshy's story is not his
alone ó it is shared with his two sisters: Lil, a radical and a
devotee of anarchist Emma Goldman; and Bessie, who goes to work for
one of Goldman’s enemies, the owners of the Orange Sunset. Toshy's
love for his sisters drives him to make some of the bravest decisions
of his life. But despite having seemingly overcome his obstacles, an
aging Toshy stuns his nephew by asking for his assistance in
committing suicide.Toshy won’t fully explain his decision. Nor will
he fully explain why, at this late stage in life, he is obsessed with
making a journey to France.
