Justin
Stokes would never forget the summer she turned fourteen, nor the woman who
transformed her bleak adolescent life into a wondrous place of brilliant color.
In the little pondside hut also known as the “finishing school,” eccentric,
free-spirited Ursula DeVane opened up a world full of magical possibilities for
Justin, teaching her valuable lessons of love and loyalty, and encouraging her
to change, to learn, to grow. But the lessons of the finishing school have
their dark side as well, as Justin learns how deep friendship can be shattered
by shocking, unforgivable betrayal.
