She is sixteen. She is the only person on that island who reads the whole page.

Rennie Drayton comes off the four-twenty boat and her father is on the dock, and has been since ten past, standing still with his hands in his jacket.

She has lived in that house her whole life. Somebody else's name is on the deed now.

She doesn't shout about it. She doesn't accuse anybody. She does the one thing her mother taught her without ever meaning to - she turns the paper over. Because it is all on the back of the form. The date it was filed. Who witnessed it. Which box was left empty, and by whom.

Over one autumn she builds a file. A library ledger. A photocopy of a county index with a line on it from a year she cannot explain. Three envelopes with the wrong dates. An invoice written out by a fourteen-year-old who runs a pop stand.

Every piece of it is real. Every piece of it is checkable.

And every adult she shows it to is kind to her, and does nothing - because Ruth Loew has been very good to that family, and everybody on that island can tell you so.

The last boat of the season goes on the twenty-second.

The third Provenance novel. Book one was watching it happen. Book two was doing it. This one is being sixteen, being right, and being no use to anybody.
