Review
"The word for Feil's novel is cool . . . [The author] has created a protagonist who demonstrates both the self-confidence and doubts of youth, leveling a critical eye on herself and her surroundings without claiming the adolescent omniscience so prevalent in novels for the age group."--School Library Journal
Synopsis
The atmospheric tale of one young woman's summer of self-discovery
