    <![CDATA[When sixteen-year-old Poly O'Keefe journeys to Athens, she feels confused and betrayed.<p><br/>The past eight months at home were different from any other time in her life. She met the brilliant, wealthy Maximiliana Horne, who gave her encouragement and made her feel self-confident. Poly idolized Max, until she learned a starting truth that left her wounded and angry.<p><br/>Now on a trip to Greece arranged by Max, Poly finds romance, danger, and unique friendships. But can she find a way to forgive Max and remember her as more than a painful memory?<p><br/>&quot;Seventeen-year-old Poly can accept her dying patron's lesbianism until Max, overcome by pain and alcohol, attempts to seduce her. While on a working trip to Greece and Cyprus, previously arranged by Max, Poly learns what forgiveness and love really are. Poly is a remarkable heroine.&quot; &mdash;<em>Children's Book Review Service</em><br/><br/>&quot;Compelling.&quot; &mdash;Starred, <em>Booklist</em></p></p></p>]]>
