Ambitious Briggs Henry is spending the summer before college on Lake Michigan, working for an eccentric, elderly Serbian woman while living in her huge lakeside home. In between odd jobs and accompanying Mrs. B. to funerals, Briggs makes beach friends--including a sharp-witted girl with a chronic illness--and deals with his overbearing father. A warm and diverting coming-of-age story.
