Contraportada

It is the summer of 1958, and life in the small Texas community of Graham Camp should be simple and carefree. But not for twelve-year-old Sammie Tucker. Sammie has plenty of questions about her mother's "nerve" problems . . . about shock treatments . . . about whether her mother loves her . . .

When her mother commits suicide and a not-so-favorite aunt arrives, Sammie has to decide whom she can trust with her deepest fears: her best friend who has an opinion about everything, the mysterious kid from California whose own troubles plague him, or her round-faced neighbor with gentle advice and strong shoulders to cry on. Trusting is one thing, but accepting the truth may be the hardest thing Sammie has ever done.
