    About this ebook

    “With humor and a nice southern accent…a fine follow-up to her highlypraised first novel, Grace at Love Tide.”

    –Booklist, starred review

    The year is 1989 and dark currents lurk beneath the smooth surface of theelite Virginia campus where Adelaide Piper has come to study. Her poeticsensibility and idealism only irritate the socialites and cynics who notice herat all.

    After a heartbreaking loss of innocence, Adelaide must navigate between hergenteel Southern upbringing and the gritty realities of a new generation.

    Ultimately Adelaide must return to the very ground she once cursed, findinga deeper appreciation for her Southern heritage, however broken and imperfect.

      “DALE SLIPPED AT the kid’s pond a few days ago and I couldn’t get him up.” There was an air of apology in my dad’s voice, but sitting there at dinner I felt a stab of nausea below my sternum. On this expansive, isolated Idaho plain, no sign exists at

      Nothing about the cover, comments, or CIP made me think this would be such a strongly religious book. It in fact, became down right "preachy". The story covers the college years of a young SC woman who goes to a small private Virginia college seeing it as an escape from the small mill town where she was raised. After being sexually assaulted her freshman year, she returns home in a fragile state and through one of her religious friends finds southern fundamental Christianity. I never felt truly connected to the character who had the unfortunate habit of using the word "humph' when things weren't to her liking. Other characters in the book were not fully developed as well. There is potential here, it just fell flat and then the preaching became overwhelming. The first pages of the book are the best writing in it.
