Roo holds the key to her family’s history, and slowly, he helps her put the pieces together about her past. Then there’s Roo, the boy who was her very best friend when she was little. But to her new family, she is Saylor, the name her mother always called her. The more time Emma spends there, the more it starts to feel like she is also divided into two people. Her mother grew up in working class North Lake, while her dad spent summers in the wealthier Lake North resort.
When Emma arrives at North Lake, she realizes there are actually two very different communities there. Now it’s just Emma and her dad, and life is good, if a little predictable…until Emma is unexpectedly sent to spend the summer with her mother’s family that she hasn’t seen since she was a little girl. But she does remember the stories her mom told her about the big lake that went on forever, with cold, clear water and mossy trees at the edges.
