A teenage girl shipped off to prep school tries to solve the mystery of her own identity—and her mother’s past—in this “gem of a book” (Kim Culbertson). It’s always been just Wren and her mother, Hannah, living together in Southern California. But when Hannah receives a reporting assignment in Greenland, Wren is sent away to Hardwick Hall, her mother’s alma mater—even though her mother has refused to discuss her time at the exclusive Connecticut boarding school for as long as Wren can remember. Wren, a budding guitarist and singer, is unsuccessful at befriending her stuck-up suitemate, Honor. But she finds an escape in riding horses and in hanging out with cute rowers, like the adorably crinkly-eyed Nick. She also finds a niche in the campus’s underground music scene with Chazzy, a fellow musician with a hilarious sense of humor. But soon, clues about her mother’s dark past threaten to destroy Wren’s new life . . .
