Twelve-year-old Miranda is shipped off for a month to August Isle, the Florida island where her mother spent summers as a child. Miranda uncovers secrets from her mother's past and learns to face her fears--including that her often-absent mother, a photographer who eagerly accepts faraway assignments, doesn't love her anymore. Standish deftly explores guilt, fear, love, and the power of stories in this poignant tale.
