Synopsis

Alex didn't want to be too pushy. She'd heard her dad say Kit Darling was a wild thing, and she knew you had to be patient with wild things or you might scare them off. And she wanted the famous travel writer to stick around. Kit was not only way cool, she actually listened to Alex -- and made her dad smile a whole lot. For the first time since her mom died, he seemed really happy. But how was Alex going to make freedom-loving Kit stay in Pritchard's Neck when she was so desperate to get out?
