But a strange Memorial Day boating accident on the creek near her Virginia homeshes the only witness to the apparent suicidekicks off a series of events that will define her familys future as well as her emerging view of life.On the very day of the victims funeral, Graces older sister, Lillian, absent from the family for the past five years, suddenly reappears. Unfortunately, it is also the day Graces mother chooses to quietly walk out on her family, leaving Grace to act as the mediator between her prodigal sister and her badly wounded father.As the summer wears on, Grace finds herself thinking less about college and more about how to mend the rifts in her family. She turns to her neighbor, Cal, a recently returned Vietnam vet, to help sort through her problems.
