To this school comes Charlotte Delafield, a gawky teen hoping to surmount the aftermath of her parents' difficult divorce, and Brian Parton, a restless young writer and English teacher. Through the everyday events of Charlotte's senior year--conflicts and misunderstanding in the classroom, as well as flashes of inspiration and learning, an annual outdoor Shakespeare production, and walks in the still, wild marshland of Flanders Point--the two find themselves drawn to each other. Under increasing emotional pressure, the barrier between student and teacher cracks but does not break--until graduation day. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eFlanders Point, \u003c\/i\u003eJacquie Gordon shows the promise of early Pat Conroy.
