To be fair,
the angst comes dragging into town with Heather, an uptight career woman,
trying to get her flighty family to sell the family land so she can move on
with her life elsewhere. Memories, both
good and bad, rush in to remind her the time she spent in Moses Lake when she
was young. Time she spent with her
adored father, until a tragic accident befell the family.
Heather
connects with her high school crush and finds out he was not as oblivious to
her as she thought he was. He isn’t
quite what she thought he was and finds her feelings defiantly not left in the
past. But can she trust him? He seems to be hiding something, along with
her family.
Told in the first
person, the story really did make me feel Heather’s frustration with the
situation she finds herself in. I wanted
to ring some necks for her! It was hard
knowing she is a strong, successful woman in her career, and yet, she can’t
seem to speak to her mother and brother in a productive way. But I think that is probably the way it is
for a lot of families. You don’t grow
out of the patterns that were established in adolescence. We join Heather as she works to overcome the
pain of her past and grow into a new woman.
