The Girl Who Could Breathe Under Water - Erin Bartels

\nEmotions leap off the page in this deeply personal book . . . . Expertly written.--Library Journal \n \n*** \n \nThe best fiction simply tells the truth. \nBut the truth is never simple. \n \nWhen novelist Kendra Brennan moves into her grandfather's old cabin on Hidden Lake, she has a problem and a plan. The problem? An inflammatory letter from A Very Disappointed Reader. The plan? To confront Tyler, her childhood best friend's brother--and the man who inspired the antagonist in her first book. If she can prove that she told the truth about what happened during those long-ago summers, perhaps she can put the letter's claims to rest and meet the swiftly approaching deadline for her next book. \n \nBut what she discovers as she delves into the murky past is not what she expected. While facing Tyler isn't easy, facing the consequences of her failed friendship with his sister, Cami, may be the hardest thing she's ever had to do. \n \nPlumb the depths of the human heart with this emotional exploration of how a friendship dies, how we can face the unforgivable, and how even those who have been hurt can learn to love with abandon. \n \n \nPraise for the novels of Erin Bartels \n \nBartels proves herself a master wordsmith and storyteller.--Library Journal starred review of All That We Carried \n \nA story of love found in the written word and love found because of the written word.--Booklist on The Words between Us \n \nA deeply moving story of heartbreak, long-held secrets, and the bonds of family.--Publishers Weekly starred review of We Hope for Better Things
