The story centers on twelve-year-old Frankie Addams, a lonely and precocious girl in a small Georgia town, who becomes obsessed with the wedding of her older brother. Convinced that she will accompany the newlyweds on their honeymoon, Frankie’s vivid imagination and desire for belonging expose her deep yearning to escape the confines of childhood and the isolation of her life. As she spends a sweltering summer with her housekeeper Berenice and her young cousin John Henry, Frankie wrestles with identity, change, and the bittersweet confusion of adolescence. The novel captures the raw vulnerability of growing up with extraordinary sensitivity and poetic insight.
