About This Book

The story follows Lydia, a grieving young girl in a quiet Midwestern lakeside town, as she returns to school after quarantine and finds solace in study, sewing, and a small black pet. She navigates class tensions while teaching a banker's daughter to swim, forms friendships with local children and adults, and becomes involved in town events — elections, celebrations, and a university-linked inquiry — that prompt a search and investigation. Through these communal experiences and academic milestones she gradually adjusts to loss and grows into greater social and scholastic responsibility.
