Story
One hot, sticky summer in Bledsoe, Georgia, twelve-year-old Kay Whitaker stumbles across a stilt house in a neighboring marsh and upon Andy Webber, a boy about her age. He and his father have recently moved back to Georgia from California, and rumors of the suspicious drowning death of Andy’s mother years earlier have chased them there and back. Kay is fascinated and enamored with Andy, and she doesn’t listen when her father tells her to stay away from the Webbers.

Captivated by Kay’s curiosity and spirit
Reviewed: 09-16-22
This book is written from the view point of a twelve year old girl that is smart and curious and energetic, but she has limited life experience. Her phraseology makes you laugh all along the way as she uses terms and phrases you’ve only heard from your old southern relatives. If you’ve lived it the south, you will feel right at home. If you have not, you are in for an awakening of southern charm and wit.
Events unfold and you as the reader recognize trouble on the horizon that Kay is still processing and frankly misunderstanding. It is a true pleasure to read. As you read, remember your own youthful interpretations and fantasies of simple life events and cheer this delightful girl as she comes of age. I am anxious to read Lo Patrick’s next book.

Yet sometimes the middle-class small-town girl in Nina wonders if she's strayed from the person she once was. Tom Volpe is a single dad working multiple jobs while struggling to raise his headstrong daughter, Lyla. His road has been lonely, long, and hard, but he finally starts to relax after Lyla earns a scholarship to Windsor Academy, Nashville's most prestigious private school.

It is an incredibly shallow story. There is not a twist or turn. The main character is “perfect” and the her reactions to bad behavior seem child like. Very simple story and the writing is uninspired.
