Growing up on a tiny Chesapeake Bay island in the early 1940s, angry Louise reveals how Caroline robbed her of everything: her hopes for schooling, her friends, her mother, even her name. While everyone pampered Caroline, Wheeze (her sister's name for her) began to learn the ways of the watermen and the secrets of the island, especially of old Captain Wallace, who had mysteriously returned after 50 years.
The war unexpectedly gave this independent girl a chance to fulfill her childish dream to work as a watermen alongside her father. But the dream did not satisfy the woman she was becoming. Alone and unsure, Louise began to fight her way to a place where Caroline could not reach.
Renowned author Katherine Paterson here chooses a little-known area off the Maryland shore as her setting for a fresh telling of the ancient story of an elder twin's lost birthright.

Good

I grasped the title’s symbolism and meaning well enough, however would have appreciated a more dramatic style in getting it done. I like time pieces, so WWII era is always good with plenty to choose from wartime rationing to awaiting the troops to come home to the uncertainty of global conflict.
I am glad I read it although did not connect with it as I did the author’s other work, “Bridge to Terabithia”.
