If thirteen-year-old Sage had done one thing differently that day last November, everything would be fine. Only she didn't, so she and her dad had to leave Philadelphia for a new life in middle-of-nowhere Virginia. Her dad has never actually said he blames her for what happened, but how could he not?Sage is determined to push it all out of her mind, but then, just before summer vacation, she hears from the grandparents she?s never met. They want her to visit, and she realizes this could be her chance to mend the rift that?s kept everybody apart.When she meets Grandmother Marion, though, Sage is sure her trip is headed for disaster. Except she wasn?t counting on making a new friend or rescuing a sweet stray dog. With them by her side, maybe she can find the courage to face what she's been avoiding all along.From the award-winning author of It Happened on Saturday comes a heartfelt and empowering story that explores the complexity of family relationships, the value of forgiveness, and how to find your way forward in a tough situation with resilience and hope.
