I enjoyed the story. It was hard for me to decide how I felt about some of the characters. I've finished the book and I'm still not sure.

All in all, though, a good read. I'll look for more of this author's books.

A very interesting and compelling southern novel about a young girl who lives an isolated life on an old plantation raising hunting dogs. Her life changes and she grows up too fast after a troubled, wealthy neighbor girl comes to live with them. I really enjoyed this book.
