| Plot Summary of Before Wings |
|---|
"Having barely survived a brain aneurysm two years earlier, fifteen-year-old Adrien is sent to work at her Aunt Erin's summer camp. Her near death experience has left Adrien caught between the living and spirit worlds and she is unsure of where she belongs. Adrien knows that a fatal aneurysm might strike her at any time, and she struggles to make her way among the more “normal” teenagers at the camp. At the same time, Adrien struggles to understand the strange mystery that seems to haunt her aunt, as she communes with the spirits of five young women who haunt the camp – though Adrien is the only one who can see them."
Jennifer Selk, Resident Scholar
