She's always wanted to be a doctor and that's what she's going to do, darn it. Louise has to wrestle with her own issues and finally decides, after a near-fight with her mother, that she has to leave Rass Island. When the war ends in 1945, Call returns home and announces-surprise, surprise-he's going to marry Caroline.

Seriously, Caroline?Ĭall leaves to join the Navy and fight in World War II, and Louise is left behind to help her father on his crab and oyster boat. Louise dreams of getting off Rass Island, but it's Caroline who gets the chance when the Captain offers to pay for her to attend a private music school in Baltimore. Eventually, Caroline is able to ruin this, too, when she makes friends with this man-whom they call the Captain-after helping him get rid of some old house cats. When a mysterious older man comes to town, Louise and Call manage to make friends with him while trying to guess all kinds of weird secrets about his past. Caroline has been hogging all of the attention since the moment she was born because she nearly died, while Louise was perfectly healthy. She has a best friend named Call who never laughs at her jokes she has a grandmother who loves to quote vicious Bible verses to anyone who'll listen and she has a twin sister, Caroline, who does everything beautifully and always manages to steal the spotlight from Louise.

It's the summer of 1941, and Louise is 13 years old. Sara Louise Bradshaw was born on Rass Island, but neither she nor her sister will die there.
