She's been awarded temporary custody of Gavin and Cassie's twelve-year-old daughter, Heaven, a name that makes Amelia cringe. Reluctantly, she takes Heaven in, but asks the girl to call her Grandmelia instead of Grandma, a name that doesn't make Amelia feel quite so old.The daughter of drug addicts, who has long been left to her own devices, Heaven does not appreciate her grandmother's constant critical ministrations, and the pair quickly butt heads. She instead bonds with Uncle Daniel, Amelia's older, agoraphobic son, who never leaves his bedroom. Through the wall between their rooms, Daniel spins Celtic tales for Heaven from the Isle of Skye, where the family's ancestors lived, including fifteen-year-old Maggie, who mysteriously disappeared crossing the Atlantic many years ago."--Publisher. 650 0 $a Grandparent and child $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Guardian and ward $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Conflict of generations $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Families $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Bullying $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Missing persons $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 4 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010023109.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909064450.0 952 $l XAPE737 $d 20211130010919.0 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20210727010355.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A475A426B47911EB9D5870B534ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
