Thirteen-year-old Isla and her father share a passion for swans that winter on a lake nearby. When her father becomes ill, Isla’s world is turned upside down.

He shares her excitement about a young swan that lives, separate from the flock, on the lake behind the hospital. This juvenile novel celebrates both a family that struggles to survive calamity and to heal relationships, and the awkward, tender, and unlikely love between two teenagers. Ages 10 and up.
