A Summer to Die

Thirteen-year-old Meg Chalmers moves with her family to a rural house while her father takes a year away from teaching to write. Meg feels overshadowed by her older sister Molly, whose beauty and confidence she envies. When Molly becomes seriously ill, Meg must confront jealousy, family change, and the approaching loss of her sister.
