El Campbell, an 18-year-old counselor at a girls' summer camp, finds herself dealing with things she doesn't understand, doesn't want, and can't ignore. Hers is the heroine's journey -- down, down, into the depths of her own soul; to make sense of madness, to find meaning at the heart of chaos. And best of all, the author takes us on that journey, without giving up one bit of the fun and romance and silliness and boredom, and the wonder of one's 18th summer. FIRST PLACE, Writer's Digest International Self-Published Book Awards, children's/young adult fiction; FINALIST, 2006 Foreword Magazine Book of the Year Award, young-adult fiction
