Adrien is spending the summer working at a camp run by her Aunt Erin, a forbidding woman of few words. Adrien is recovering from a brain aneurysm that almost killed her. She's been warned that she may have another and it may kill her. There won't be a warning; just a blinding light before her lights go out for good. Adrien is not one of those people who become better through suffering. She's rude, truculent and withdrawn, so withdrawn that her loneliness emanates from her with a fierceness that few people try to break through. Her parents try, but meet with a steadfast rejection typical of adolescents and amplified by Adrien's depression. Aunt Erin doesn't seem inclined even to try.
