Toby Kingsford is trouble. At fifteen, he's a tribulation to his mentally ill mother and a disgrace to his military father. When Toby's fiery temper lands him in hot water again, this time with the law, his father's had enough and decides to send him away for the summer. Toby ends up at a remote cabin in northern Wisconsin working as a handyman for an old woman named Lenora Swan. Life in the isolated north woods is a difficult adjustment for a city kid. But in time the lake and its people, including a smiling green-eyed girl named Sarah, work their way into Toby's heart and change the way he looks at life -- and himself. When a tragic accident threatens to throw him back into his former life too soon, Toby's new outlook is threatened. Has he really changed? Or is the old Toby still lurking inside, just waiting to expose the new one as a flimsy impostor? This is the story of a young man's struggle for identity, complicated by conflicting feelings of anger, self-hatred, first love, and renewed hope. Each of us must face the struggle; those most fortunate will also find the hope.
