Abstract
Celestia, 16, spends every summer at the elite resort at Lake Conemaugh, but prefers to swim and fish with Peter, the hotel’s hired boy. The friendship turns to romance, which the pair must keep secret because of their differing social classes. When the dam bursts, Peter and Celestia float, suffer, and survive.
