Sarah Louise, Wheeze, as she is called, lives in the shadow of her twin sister Caroline, who is a gifted musician. Born and raised on a small island in the Chesapeake Bay, she longs to go out and help her father fish for crabs and oysters, but that is a man's job in the 1940s. But then the war comes, Caroline ends up with a scholarship to pursue her music and her best friend joins the Navy. While helping her father on her boat, she deals with her family and friends and sorts out what she wants to do with her life. A determined heroine, she finds her path and strikes out to make a new life for herself. A touching coming of age story well voiced by Christina Moore in the audiobook version. Jacob Have I Loved by Katherine Patterson, Recorded Books, LLC., 1998, 1980.
