Summary:

"This beautifully crafted coming-of-age young adult novel set in Nova Scotia focuses on a young woman's family, friendships, conflicts, healing and inner-strength."-- Provided by publisher.
Larkin Day just escaped a nasty year in high school to spend a summer of refuge in seaside Nova Scotia. It's here she learns that the best way to heal is to give in to something greater than yourself. When an arsonist attempts to destroy that one thing she holds dear, Larkin is forced to figure out a way to expose the criminal while keeping her life from coming off the rails. -- adapted from back cover
