Then, the unthinkable happens. During a storm, Lorna is swept out to sea, leaving the three survivors with nothing to cling to except grief and questions. How did this happen? Why was Lorna in such danger, and was she alone? When her body is never found, the mystery deepens. Did Lorna really die? Or has she made a crazy bid for freedom? Inevitably, the dynamic of the four friends' everyday life is changed forever. But the pain and confusion go deepest for Jackie, who must face her feelings of unrequited love for Lorna's boyfriend as well as try to put to rest her own questions about Lorna's presumed death. Does one of the boys in their inner circle know more than he's letting on? Will Lorna's fate ever be discovered? And how will Jackie become her own person in the wake of a wound that may never close? In this beautifully written, intense novel, one girl has to travel through loss and disillusionment to make sense of her own future.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster Books for Young Readers","offers":[{"title":"Local Girl Swept Away | Ellen Wittlinger | Hardcover | 9781440589003 | Used: Like New | YA 1728642 (temp: 24)","offer_id":48167581221016,"sku":"1728642","price":6.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/81nfYq5M-PL.jpg?v=1771950380","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/local-girl-swept-away","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
