Meryl Lee Kowalski has just lost her best friend, Holling Hoodhood, in a car accident. She is struggling to deal with the loss of him and just can't face all the places and things they did together, so her parents send her off to a boarding school on the east coast. Matt Coffin has no family or parents and has run away from New York to the same town Meryl is in. He has some really bad men that are trying to find him and he doesn't want to get anyone else involved in his life. As Meryl attends school and Matt is befriended by the head mistress of the school their lives intersect and they both learn about dealing with their loss and they find friendship in each other and other people.
LOVED this book. Kept me reading until the early morning hours to find out what happens to Matt and Meryl. Has a great historic vibe to it, but not overwhelmingly so. The characters are very relatable and both grow and develop throughout the book.
