They all have their own baggage and weaknesses and are perfectly flawed, something that I always LOVE in my characters. Other characters such as Stebbs (the gruff neighbor), Lauren (Lynn’s mother), Neva, Eli–are equally well-drawn. She learns that she is stronger with others than she is by herself. I love how she slowly learns to trust–and even love–other people. In her whole life, she’s only met one other person–a gruff older neighbor who keeps his distance but seems to be watching out for Lynn and her mother. She’s tough and unpolished and knows almost nothing of the world outside the home she grew up in. Every day is a struggle to survive, and Lynn will defend what’s hers until her dying breath. In a world where clean water is precious, Lynn and her mother use any means necessary to guard their small pond. SUMMARY: Sixteen-year old Lynn and her mother have known nothing but survival.
