Old Promises

Hazel Whitmore grew up in New York City. Then her life fell apart and she ended up nine miles from the rural town of Crooked Creek, Missouri. No phone. No Internet. No Central Park. No friends.
Hazel's New York apartment was neat and clean. The hundred-year-old house is full of dust and cobwebs.
At Kingston Middle School in New York, Hazel was popular. At Hanging Rock Hazel is shunned, the target of pranks.
Hazel's Grandfather Whitmore doesn't want her or her mother there in Crooked Creek. How far will he go to drive them away?
