The Darkness Under the Water

(4) YA Molly's Vermont village is changing. A dam turns the river that once provided jobs into a lake. Two mysterious nurses arrive, and rumors about sterilization of French Canadians and Abenaki add to the tension. Descriptions of 1930s rural life dominate the early parts of the book, which become increasingly melodramatic as death and murder cast a shadow over Molly's family.
