A summer in Maine for a widower and his two teenaged daughters brings varied reactions from the residents of the local beach town. May, the younger daughter, stumbles across a diary that becomes the central concern of the novel. Bonnie Hurren carries the story faultlessly. Her caring and intimate reading gives sympathy to every character. Hurren's personal energy makes this worthwhile entertainment. J.P. (c) AudioFile, Portland, Maine
