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.
