As a teenager, she is elected beauty queen, gets good grades, and-despite her many enviable qualities-manages also to be well-loved. Everyone knows that she is destined to leave town and do great things. And she does. But no one expects her return; drawn back home by some sort of memory, as if the current that had taken her away had changed its mind... |
