First that place is Malesso as she rejects their temporary exile at her aunt's house in Tamuning. More figuratively, she considers her place within her childhood group of friends, her friendship with Roman, and with relationships with her aunts and the people of Malesso. Discuss how that sense of place changes throughout the novel. Why doesn't Isabel enter the contest for fiesta queen? Both Olivia and Frank show signs of distress after their mother's death.

Isabel records those signs, but only once does she seek help, and that is with the logistical problem of washing Olivia's wet sheets. What in her character and situation explains why she keeps these observations to herself? Frank carves "I hate you" on his wall and "I hate" on his body. Whom or what does he hate so much? Isabel, Frank, and Olivia are individuals, yet each contains characteristics of both parents.

What traits of their mother do you see in each character?

Isabel writes two compositions based on a true, personal experience. One is a poem about Frank and she receives an "F" on that poem. Why is each treated differently?

Hanson graduated from the University of Minnesota, and spent the early part of his working years with what became Unysis while raising a family in Bloomington.

Now he's a farmer's hired hand when he's not fishing. His years as a business owner tended to tie him down some, so Hanson said he spent the greater share of his fishing time on waters close to home. The lakes of Kandiyohi County, in particular Big Kandiyohi, became his most frequent destinations.

Big Kandi remains a favorite for him, especially when the colors of autumn tinge its shores. He loves to pick a spot amidst the colorful panorama and cast Rapalas and Shad Raps to hungry walleye and northern pike.

But his greatest love these days is escaping to the far deeper waters of Grindstone Lake near Sandstone, where he owns some property and keeps a trailer. There, he trolls the depths of its clear waters for trout and continues a decades-long search for an elusive inch northern pike. A fatally hooked, toothy inch behemoth is on the wall of his Olivia home. He gives the other big fish a chance to return to their underwater haunts, as his wife of four years, Maureen, can attest.

He snapped her picture with the fish, and promptly slipped it back to the water. Wogen said his friend's success at fishing comes largely due to basic fishing techniques and persistence. Thank You Olivia March for a great book! This book was amazing!
