She thinks that her dad was too hard on her mom about her sailing, and that’s part of why she never came home. So when her dad starts dating a psychic who claims to have connections with her mother, Fiona lashes out. I liked this book.  It showed Fiona’s frustration in dealing with her mother’s death, and how she finally comes to terms with her life.  Middle School, High School- Advisable. Student Reviewer: AL
