Sara Will Summary

Sara Will is not usually discussed as a young adult novel because the principal characters, Sara Will Burney and Swanee Hope Burney Calhoun, are adults. However, there are two young adults in the novel, Eva and Michael, and the story focuses on bringing these two generations together.

Sara Will and her sister Swanee Hope have been living together in rural, western North Carolina.
