It's been ten long years since Tommy, thirteen, has seen her father, Jud--and she has grown quite resentful of his neglect. Now her mother is dying, and Tommy must go to spend the summer with Jud in his small seaside… town. Jud lives a reclusive life in dusty squalor. Tommy resists his overtures of friendship until, through her mother's letters, she comes to understand her parents' relationship and to forgive and love her father. Junior high. 1992.
