From School Library Journal
YA-- Sally Maulden is 13, and her parents are divorcing. She confronts her hurt and fury at parents who are so seemingly selfish as to dump her with her grandparents in Coldwater, Arkansas while they sort things out; she tries to take blame and contrive situations that will put the puzzle back together. She occupies her time observing her grandfather and his home-brewed medicines that are in high demand but under legal censure. Her grandmother is busy : feuding with the newspaper editor over the last outhouse in town, on his property outside her living room window. Sally befriends a rich neighbor and falls in love with him, seeing in him an answer to all her problems. This is a realistic story of a believable heroine who grows up, thanks to love and time, in a small town in the 1960s. The tale is well written, and offers today's readers the chance to look at divorce in process and adolescent concerns from a quieter perspective than their everyday lives. --Dorcas Hand, Episcopal High School, Bellaire, TX
