(3) YA Francesca, who blames herself for her younger brother Simon's drowning death four years ago, becomes a mother's helper for four-year-old boy Frankie, who she believes may be Simon's reincarnation. This possibility is ultimately not resolved--Polisner poignantly focuses instead on Francesca's emotional development and her need for connection with others, including her still-grieving parents and the best friend whose boyfriend she covets.
