A big-hearted, sweeping novel about a girl who reconnects with a part of her family she hasn't seen since she was a little girl -- and falls in love, all over the course of a magical summer. Unexpectedly sent to spend the summer with her late mother's estranged relatives at scenic North Lake, a teen finds herself torn between her mother's working-class relatives and her father's wealthier associates. Then there's Roo, the boy who was her very best friend when she was little. Roo holds the key to her family's history, and slowly, he helps her put the pieces together about her past. It's like a whole new world is opening up to her. But when it's time to go back home, which side of her will win out?
