Lise, her brother, and her mother go to spend the summer on the Maine coast so that her mother can rest and recuperate. Unfortunately Lise hates the ocean, and the place where they are staying, and the changes in her mother worry her. Will her life every go back to the way it was?
This Month’s Special Feature: The weather On a daily basis we are all affected by the weather. It influences our choice of dress, our behavior, and our mood.
