First Edition, Signed by the Author "Everyone in King George, New Hampshire, loved Margaret Batten, part-time amateur actress, full-time wallflower, and single mother to a not-always-devoted daughter, Sunny. But accidents happen. The death of Margaret, side by side with her putative fiancé, brings Sunny back to the scene of her unhappy adolescence, to the community that remembers her solely, nervously, as 'the girl who golfed.' Reentry is to be dreaded; there's no hiding in a town with one diner, one doctor, one stop sign, one motel. Yet allies surface: The country club opens its doors to its former Orphan Annie caddie. High school classmates, even the tormentors, have grown up nicely, matured in unforeseen and gratifying ways. Just possibly, Sunny begins to think, she wasn't as beleaguered as she felt she was. Maybe her mother's life was richer than anyone suspected" [from the dust jacket] ISBN: 0679463127 As noted, inscribed by the author on the title page; otherwise, the book is in Fine/As New Condition: pages bright, clean, tight, and unmarked.
