When they settle into a quiet New England town in 1963, the teenager yearns to stay put for once. With a convent just steps away from their home, this could be Charlotte's chance to fulfill her dream of becoming a martyred Catholic saint-despite the fact that she's Jewish. At the same time, the young caretaker at the convent is inspiring some unsaintly thoughts . . . "Patty Dann gives us a magnificent voice in the young Charlotte . . . Compelling and tender, touching and alive in her search to find some order in the chaos of her life." -The New York Times Book Review "This is a really funny book about people trying to find something to hang onto in a world that keeps shifting under their feet. Patty Dann guides us through the guerilla war between mother and daughter, through the minefields that lie between being a child and being an adult, in a voice not like any we've heard before." -John Sayles, director and novelist "Moments of pure gold . . . An energetic talent." -Kirkus Reviews "Both of [the sisters'] characters are sharply etched and recognizable." -Publishers Weekly "Poignant . . . a quirky charm." -Booklist [url] => https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/15482626 [pa] => [series] => Mermaids [publisher] => Open Road Media [purchaseModel] => INSTANT )
