I adore Anne Rivers Siddons. In this story about a missing Mother, a strange new friend and an amazing breed of hunting dogs we meet "Emily" who is lovable and wise and evolving. There is a bit of a metaphysical mystery in the strange relationship of Emily and her ghost of a brother and her companion guard dog. A little pre-teen motherless child is taking charge of her family's creekside land where magical dolphins and brilliant purebred puppies add light to the surroundings. Emily is coming of age with her lovely but disturbed mentor Lulu. Southern society and the customs and culture of an old established ladies finishing school, threaten and offer a promise of discovery. A villian haunts Emily and her friend Lulu and abruptly changes life for everyone at Sweetwater Creek. Everything blows apart when "Gran" a little old lady who has secrets of her own adds the enchantment to this heartwarming tale
