So when she reenters his life years later with an invitation to spend the summer with her in Charleston, Jeff is captivated by her free spirit and warmth, and he eagerly looks forward to returning for another visit the following year.<P>But Jeff's second summer in Charleston ends with a devastating betrayal, and he returns to his father wounded almost beyond bearing. But out of Jeff's pain grows a deepening awareness of the unexpected and complicated ways of love and loss and of family and friendship -- and the strength to understand his father, his mother, and especially himself.<P>A NEWBERY HONOR BOOK<P>AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION CHILDREN'S NOTABLE BOOK<P>AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION BEST BOOK FOR YOUNG ADULTS<P>AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION BEST OF THE BEST FOR YOUNG ADULTS<P>INTERNATIONAL READING ASSOCIATION TEACHERS' CHOICE<P>INTERNATIONAL READING ASSOCIATION YOUNG ADULT CHOICE<P><I>BOOKLIST</I> EDITORS' CHOICE 3247916 book 1902 A Solitary Blue (Tillerman Family, #3) total:1057|5:291|4:411|3:303|2:42|1:10| 1057 4102 1317 77 5 2 false false Wed Dec 10 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 08 16:29:43 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 10 11:11:06 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 2 false false Mon Nov 26 14:12:04 -0800 2007 Fri Jul 18 14:53:03 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 2 false false Thu Apr 24 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu May 01 21:26:09 -0700 2008 Thu May 01 21:31:07 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 2 false false Sat Feb 09 13:54:39 -0800 2008 Sat Feb 09 13:59:31 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 1 false false Sat Apr 18 09:40:43 -0700 2009 Sat Apr 18 09:47:38 -0700 2009 Well, I nearly felt that way after reading through A Solitary Blue!
