Fish House Secrets

More about the book

On a Friday afternoon Chad arrives with his father at his grandparents' summer home, an old farm on the Nova Scotia coast. It's Chad's first visit since his mother died the previous winter, and vivid reminders of her arouse his guilt, grief, and rebellion. That night Jill, a Halifax runaway, takes shelter in the barn across the meadow from the old farmhouse. When she enlists Chad's help in eluding the authorities, the two teens form an intimate friendship. Their conspiracy leads to revelations and discoveries that change their lives.
