Sweet Sally Ann

A Gemstone Book (TRADE PAPERBACK) - 347 pages *** By turns quirky and inventive, humorous and adept, SWEET SALLY ANN challenges the depths of childhood fear, from the suspicion of parents on the verge of divorce to the prospect of something that lurks in the woods. When young Cody Bryant becomes obsessed with the disappearance of his classmate, everything that was right seems suddenly wrong. A year later, when he discovers her bones, it's time to rethink the world at large and all that emerges from it-the intimately personal, the fantastic, the shockingly real. In resolving the dramatic and tightly contained mystery of what happened to Sally Ann, Cody discovers one truth after another about himself and his childhood loves-and the unimaginable hope promised through the choices he makes.
