At twelve years old, Daralynn Oakland finds her family life shattered by the sudden death of her father and brother in a plane crash. While she and her mother grieve and try to hold things together, everything seems to happen at once in the small town where they live: life-changes, broken-hearted neighbors and relatives--even the mystery of a dead body in the local lake. Although sad things happen in this beautifully written book, it is ultimately a healing story told with great humor and positive life-force. GROUNDED is a novel about love, funerals, and creative hair-styling; about community and inner strength. It’s a tale rich with unforgettable characters and events, told with humor and imagination in the voice of brave, compassionate Daralynn. Reviewed by Mr. Brown
