After her grampa dies, the last place Libby expects to see him is sitting on the edge of her bed. But that's what happens the night after the funeral.
Even more surprising is that Grampa has three important things to tell her: first, that she isn't alone or forgotten—"The dead ain't never that far from the liv­ing," he says; second, that she has "the Sight"—the ability to see family mem­bers who have died; and third, that there is something special just for her in the lake. Something that could help her and her father—if she can find it.
Libby and Grampa try to help her father heal from his grief, but it will take all of Libby's courage and her gift of Sight to convince her father that the dead are never truly gone.
Never That Far is set in the lush, rural landscape of central Florida and is a story that celebrates friendship, hope, and the power of family love.

      After her beloved grandfather dies, Libby and her daddy are the only ones left in the broken Lochewood family. But then Grampa's spirit starts visiting Libby, giving her clues to something hidden in the lake that will help restore depressed Daddy's sense of hope. Libby's boldness shines in this story of loss and recovery, as do Williams's descriptions of 1960s rural Florida.
