Details

The Summer of the Swans #2385 Sara is an awkward teen who feels self-conscious about her physical appearance and her inability to interact in a meaningful way with the two most important women (read: role models) in her life--her older sister and her Aunt Willie, who is raising her. Sara has lots of reasons to be angry: her mother is dead, her father has left her to be raised by her aunt, her older sister is prettier, and her brother Charlie is mentally retarded. Sara's life has always flowed smoothly, until her little brother Charlie gets lost in the woods. Then Sara is forced to see her life in a whole new way.
