Cousins Melinda, Kate, and Rebecca have spent summers on a small Newfoundland fishing island with little excitement until the summer of 1960, when a stranger shows up at the annual garden party and turns their world upside down. Although the novel gets off to a slow start, fifteen-year-old Melinda's voice and the moral dilemmas she faces will hold readers' attention.
