The Swing

Elizabeth Mae, or "Mae" as she was called by her best friends, met the love of her life over a scoop of ice cream. They fell in love on an old-fashioned swing, a fixture at her parents' house. That swing became the center of Mae's life and witnessed her experiences with love and loss - joy and sorrow. Sharon Allen weaves a poignant tale of an American teenager and takes the reader through one girl's journey to adulthood and beyond.
