She thought this summer would be perfect. Esme is almost sixteen and has everything going for her: A best friend who is a brilliant pianist, waterskiing master, and the best waltz teacher known to man; a brown-eyed boy who can't stop smiling at her; and a job she loves at her mother's bakery. Everything seems perfect. Until her best friend leaves for the summer. The brown-eyed boy comes with baggage. And a tragedy brings Esme to her knees. This summer is anything but perfect. But in that broken space, where sorrow and hope live, Esme changes, grows up and finds friendship, strength, and love where she least expected it. The small gifts she receives prove miraculous and magical. And everything she needs.
