More DescriptionIn the summer of 1944, much of the world is at war. Fourteen-year-old Teddy is waging her own private war against herself, her brother, and especially her perfect, and perfectly despised, mother. Forced to spend the summer at the beach with a grandmother she'd never met, Teddy faces her enemies with arrogance and a sharp anger. But as the summer unfolds, she begins to learn the answers to some painful questions about the past--a past that destroyed her family and left her mother and grandmother bitterly divided. This story of a family beginning to make peace is a powerful coming-of-age novel that explores the relationships of three generations of women.
