| Publisher Description: At 15 years old, Ally Queen is uprooted from her comfortable city existence and dumped in a small town. Her mother, witness to a hit-and-run, is suffering from post-traumatic stress, and the quiet country life is supposed to improve her emotional state. Instead, the move just seems to make things worse--for Mom, for Ally, for everyone. Ally misses the way things used to be; she misses playing with her dad and little brother. But she's a teenager now, and teenage girls don't go fishing even if they really like it. When Ally meets Rel, she feels like she's hit rock bottom, but first impressions can be deceptive. As she starts to relax into herself, Ally finds life doesn't need to be as hard as she makes it. This is an absorbing and poignant story of first love and self-discovery for readers both young and old. |
