Summary
Porch Swing Girl
What if friendship cost you everything? Dumped at her grandmother¿s house in Hawaii after a family tragedy, sixteen-year-old Olive Galloway is desperate to return to Boston before her dad loses all common sense and sells the family house. But plane tickets cost money. With the help of a quirky guy named Brander, and a mysterious girl named Jazz, Olive lands a summer job and launches a scheme to buy a plane ticket home by the end of the summer. They talk her into hanging out at their church youth group, but Olive can¿t help remembering how God didn¿t answer her prayers the last time it was really important. Why should He help now? It¿s up to her to make it home. When Jazz reveals a painful secret, Olive¿s plans are challenged. Jazz needs money¿lots of it. Olive and Brander are determined to help their friend but, when their fundraising efforts are thwarted, Olive is caught in the middle. Helping Jazz means giving up her ticket home. And time is running out.
