Description

Jennifer is an only child, and so were her parents—at least that's what she thinks, until she finds an old photo in the back of one of her mother's books. The woman in the photo looks just like Jennifer, down to the smattering of freckles across her nose. And her mother refuses to talk about it.

Compelled to find answers, Jennifer embarks on a quest that takes her from the wheat fields of Nebraska to the fishing town of Smithport, Maine, home to the one person who can help her solve this family secret—the woman in the photo. But Jennifer learns that it takes the entire village of Smithport to piece together the story of her mother's hidden past. She needs help from Nathan, the genius with the reluctant smile from across the cove; Little, the elderly town matriarch and former movie star; and The Jacks, three weathered fishermen who dabble in pyrotechnics. As Jennifer discovers the lost chapters of her mother's life, she unwittingly begins to write a few chapters of her own.

Reviews

Praise for ON LITTLE WINGS by Regina Sirois:

"In YA, On Little Wings is a wonderful debut novel by Regina Sirois (Viking, May). It's about a girl who tries to discover why her mother hasn't spoken to her own sister in years. It is brilliant, mostly on the power of the writing. There's a bit of first love, which is handled so tastefully that I can recommend it to parents for their kids." --Robert McDonald, children's book buyer at the Book Stall at Chestnut Court in Winnetka, Ill.
