She lives outside the village, in the woods, near the river, with her sister. Or her mother. She doesn't really know. Her life is simple, but nothing ever stays the same. Her body is changing; life around her is changing, too. And there aren't many people around who can explain to her what's happening. A story with a sombre offbeat mood, guided along by a narrator using unique and colourful language.

Author and singer-songwriter Stéphanie Boulay is half of the Quebecois folk group Les soeurs Boulay. When she’s not writing music, she’s writing award-winning books for readers of all ages that encourage them to be whatever makes them most happy. Stéphanie lives in Montreal.

"Readers might see the concept captured in the title - of two strands of a river coming together, their waters commingling - as a manifestation of puberty itself, that wretched amalgam that is neither childhood nor adulthood." - Quill & Quire
