Sarah Addison Allen wrote Lost Lake. What I liked about it was different generations helping each other out. Seniors learning from 8 year olds. Teens learning from older adults. Set in Atlanta, Georgia and rural Suley, Georgia, friends and family help each other sometimes when the recipients weren't aware they needed or wanted help. This story wasn't great literature but it was cute. Reading it made me wish I had another 8 year old girl in my life. 8 year old girls can be so smart sometimes and they tend to think outside of the box (and outside the laws of nature).
