Piper

Summary: From Publisher's Weekly (November 27, 2000)
Review: As Piper [main character] manages the first tough months following her mother's death, she is forced to examine some of her naive assumptions - about her parents, about the nature of friendship and betrayal, about her own sexual identity and, most of all, about love. The absorbing coming-of-age chronicle culminates in a scandal, a tragedy and the revelation of a secret - dark events humorously punctuated by two wacky road trips. Though the plot developments sometimes spiral out of control, the quirky characters generally ring true. One hopes that Keegan (Clearwater Summer) will feature spirited, wisecracking Piper in a sequel.
