Title: Flanders Point
First published: 1997
Description: Flanders Point is a spit of land on the Connecticut shore of Long Island Sound, the site of a small, financially troubled girls' prep school called Haddam. 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 misunderstandings 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.
