- Synopsis
- Luna Lee, fragile and vague, had wandered off for parts unknown. And that left fifteen-year-old Livvy, self-reliant and practical, all alone. True, her mother sent her a postcard now and again, but never a clue to her whereabouts--or when she might return, if ever. Livvy knew if it was learned that she was on her own, her mother could be in trouble. For that matter, so could Livvy, because what if the officials forced her to live with her obnoxious uncle and his family?--a fate that Livvy hopes to avoid at all costs! And so for two years, Livvy has expertly managed to keep secret from the people of Kumquat, her home town, the fact that she is alone. This is harder than it might seem because Kumquats folks are quite nosy. Yet, it is also easier than it should be, because Kumquats folks, like many of us, are too busy and self-absorbed to look too deeply into Livvy's various ruses. Only Livvy's best friend, Rosella, knows, and she loyally helps Livvy maintain her secret. But two years of living alone has made Livvy lonely and vulnerable. When Raymond comes along, it's too easy to fall in love. In love with Raymond, Livvy wants to tell him her secret too. But can Raymond be trusted?
