 Celestia and Peter have a young love that is pure and true. It doesn’t seem as though anything can spoil it. But when her wealthy father finds out she’s dating the hired help, he threatens to disown her as his daughter. She is then sent away to avoid embarrassing her family’s name. When she returns, her only thoughts are of reconnecting with Peter and restoring and protecting what they once had between them. But who will protect Celestia as the dam that sits atop Peter’s hometown of Johnstown threatens to break? - Cara Woudenberg  (Pennsylvania Young Reader's Choice Awards, 2011-2012)
