(4) YA During the summer of 1975, seventeen-year-old Grace Barnett becomes embroiled in several personal crises that threaten to tear her family apart. Despite coming from "a long line of storytellers," Grace's delivery is rather flat; an overabundance of water metaphors also weighs down the story. Goetsch's evocation of a rural Virginia setting is otherwise well rendered.
