Whistling in the Dark captivated visitors with the storyplot of 10-year-old Sally O'Malley and her sister, Troo, during Milwaukee's warmer summer months of 1959. The novel became a New York Times best seller and was known as a Midwest Honor Prize success. In Good Graces, it's one year later, and a heat wave has everyone in the close-knit Milwaukee neighborhood on advantage - none way more than Sally O'Malley, who remains deeply traumatized by the quick death of her daddy and her close to break free from a murderer and molester the prior warmer summer months. Although outwardly she and her sister, Troo, are more secure, Sally's self-assurance in her own view and much of her beliefs have been whittled away. When a series of disquieting incidents unfold in a nearby - a string of home burglaries, the break free from reform institution of any nemesis, and the mystical disappearance of the orphan, crimes that could involve the significantly rebellious Troo - Sally is called upon to go up above her interior demons. She made a deathbed guarantee to her daddy to keep Troo safe, a guarantee she can't break, even if her life is determined by it. But when events reach a crisis point, will Sally contain the courage and discernment to help make the right options? Or will her incorrect assumptions lead her and the ones she adores into danger once more? Lesley Kagen's gift for imbuing her child narrators with engaging authenticity shines as nothing you've seen prior in Good Graces, a novel told with level of sensitivity, wit, and comfort.
