Thirteen-year-old Kati is sent to her godparent's house for the
summer, while her parents decide if their marriage is worth saving.
Unhappy over the prospect of being the child of a broken home, Kati
is at first a reluctant guest of Alfred and Rachel Bean, deep in
the Alabama countryside on the shores of Cove Lake. As Kati
struggles for happiness and self-acceptance, she finds mystery,
drama, and adventure - even a little romance. Her adventures begin
the day she arrives, when she helps Alfred, a veterinarian, with a
canine Caesarian section. She befriends Alex Parker, deaf from a
skiing accident, whose mother, Cynthia, is overprotective as well
as lonely. Her summer gets more complicated when she meets a
half-Comanche agriculture pilot, 'Mad Jack, ' who enlists her help
in renovating a World War II-era Stearman bi-plane. Then she finds
herself falling for who she thinks is 'the perfect guy, ' the
charming Skip Emmett. Kati takes on the role of mediator with
Cynthia and Alex, and discovers she can make a difference somewhere
in the world. Ultimately, she comes to terms with herself, her
parents, her new and often confusing feelings for the opposite sex,
and her newfound love of flying - in what is suddenly a too-brief
summer.
