Description
Sixteen-year-old Mary Swan Middleton has always taken the advantages of her family's wealth for granted. But nothing can insulate her from a sudden tragedy that touches all of 1962 Atlanta and sends her and her family reeling in grief.
When the family maid challenges her to reach out to those without the same benefits of wealth in an attempt to ease her own pain, Mary Swan meets Carl--and everything changes. For although Carl is her opposite in nearly every way, he possesses something even her privileged life could not give her. And when she seeks his help to solve the mystery of three famous missing paintings, she discovers far more than she ever could have imagined.
This updated 25th anniversary edition of The Swan House by Elizabeth Musser is a moving Southern fiction book of healing, compassion, and self-discovery.
