Summer Secrets

Résumé du livre

Mama is acting different again. No. If I'm going to tell this story, I'm going to tell the truth. Mama is acting crazy. Again. Thirteen-year-old Missy's summer is filled with secrets. There's the secret about her sneaking out to go swimming, which the whole town discovers when she saves a drowning child; and the one about her best friend Alma and an older, dangerous boy. But her biggest secret is about her mother, whose behavior has become increasingly unpredictable and irrational. Faced with the harsh realities of her mother's mental illness and the racism of 1940s Mississippi, Missy struggles to decide which secrets should be kept and which should be revealed.
