Synopsis
Set in the 1880s, this is the story of Winnie Foster's accidental encounter and subsequent friendship with the mysterious Tuck family. When Winnie discovers that the Tucks have found the secret for eternal life, she sets off a chain of events that includes kidnapping, murder, and a jailbreak., The Tuck family is confronted with an agonizing situation when they discover that a ten-year-old girl and a malicious stranger now share their secret about a spring whose water prevents one from ever growing older.
Publisher's Notes
First Line: "The first week of August hangs at the very top of the summer, the top of the live-long year, like the highest seat of a Ferris wheel when it pauses in its turning. The weeks that come before are only a climb from balmy spring, and those that follow a drop to the chill of autumn, but the first week of August is motionless and hot."
