Description
In The Sand Castle , beloved American novelist Rita Mae Brown ( Rubyfruit Jungle ) revisits some of her most spirited and unforgettable characters—sisters Juts and Wheezie Hunsenmeir, and Juts's precocious young daughter, Nickel—as they come together to cope with a life-defining loss. It's August, 1952, and seven-year-old Nickel sets off for a day at the seashore with her mother, aunt, and cousin Leroy.
