Janka is fifteen years old. She moves to a village by the sea. There is no mutual understanding with her mother and brother, and after school she has to work. There is also a new - now, it seems, real - love. What should she do with all this? Only one thing helps Yanka: to climb a high stone on the shore and sing, trying to drown out the noise of the waves. Maybe at such moments she will find answers to all her questions? Who should I choose - a metropolitan photographer or a boy who is forced to support a large family? Where to spend the money earned - on a trip to my grandmother or to help those who have had grief? Should I forgive my father or hold a grudge for the rest of my life?Tamara Mikheeva is the author of more than twenty books, a finalist of the Vladislav Krapivin Prize, a laureate of the national prize "Cherished Dream" and the Sergei Mikhalkov literary competition.
