Book excerpt: "Once a booming sin city of the Gulf coast, Bay Harbor is a faded flower at the outset of World War II. Nine year old Anna Lee Owens thinks she knows everything about everyone in this small, winsome town, only to discover the darker, sinister side of Bay Harbor as her innocence is slowly disheveled. Atrocities lurk behind the friendly doors of Chester and Helen's boarding house, the deeply religious Miss Red entices the neighbor children, her Uncle Johnn breaks her heart, and even her parents are not what they seem. When her world explodes, Anna Lee's friendship with a sick, ragged beach tramp saves her life, but it is her own courage and humor that carry her through."--Back cover.
