Saving Sailor: A Novel
by Renée Riva
It’s 1968 and ten-year-old A. J. Degulio is having the best summer vacation of her young life, hanging out with her dog, Sailor, at the lake; alternately playing and fighting with her four siblings; and driving her mother crazy with her fake Southern accent. And when she meets Danny Morgan—who shares her love of star-gazing and deep thoughts—it seems that she’s met a soul mate. But Danny’s family is falling apart, and the wreckage affects both the Degulios and the Morgans. It takes a tragedy to reveal the high price of betrayal … and the hope that lies in forgiveness.
