Description: Charlotte's life is changed forever when her parents' marriage breaks up, and she has to leave her beloved house and her old life behind. Then, two very different boys cross her path, and a new emotion creeps into her sadness and anger--an emotion that is both confusing and sweet. Charlotte falls in love with Carlo, tries to stay friends with tough-guy Sulzer and faces the jealousy of the cool-girl clique at school. As she watches her parents trying to cope with changes in their own personal lives, she realizes that love is a messy and risky business. If grownups can make such a hash of it, how on earth can a fifteen-year-old cope? Set in a small Austrian town, this is the story of a strong, open, curious girl who must figure out how to turn away from other people's expectations and listen to her own heart.
