Skinny Dipping in a Dirty Pond

by Lis Anna-Langston

Overview

"In my family, as far back as I can tell, there was no such thing as communication, only secrets."

A young girl in a small southern town in the 80's enlists the help of an unlikely group of friends and family to help her survive an unconventional, sometimes abusive childhood. Skinny Dipping in a Dirty Pond is highly recommended for fiction readers looking for coming-of-age and family narratives that are anything but ordinary and predictable. Its lively tone packs a punch.
