Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster boy

In 1912, thirteen-year-old Turner, son of the town's new minister, hates his new life in Maine until Lizzie, a girl from a nearby island community founded by former slaves, shows him the charms of Maine's coast. But their happiness proves short-lived when the town elders and Turner's father resolve to make the island a tourist spot and force Lizzie's people out.
