Willie is a bright 20-something year old college student who has a fling with a professor and runs home to mom when things go wrong. Willie's mother lied to her about the identity of her father so Willie spends the summer trying to figure out who her father is. Willie's ancestors founded the town and she digs back into the history to search for her identity. There is a "monster" in the town lake and ghosts in Willie's family home. I really liked the characters and think a sequel would be fun. Reading what the ancestors wrote was a little tedious at times but overall, a good read.
