"It's hard to be an American girl in 1957. Especially when your dad's job means you have to move four thousand miles from home. And if you'd rather play baseball than wear a dress. If you see your mom fraying a little more from anxiety each day. And especially if being five minutes older means you have to protect your fragile twin brother. Still, Hedy Delaney loves her family, and she's trying to make the best of her new life on a U.S. air base in England. After all, her dad's a war hero, her mother's a beauty, and her brother's a brainiac who writes moving stories about space travel. Then, one tragic day, the unforeseen occurs and all three are ripped away, leaving Hedy alone with countless questions. What went on behind military closed doors? What were the secrets that could never be told? And how could any of it have led to her family's destruction? In her search for the truth, Hedy turns to a story her brother began months before he died. Deciding to finish what her brother started, Hedy begins to piece together what happened to her family. But whether she's ready for what she'll discover is another matter entirely."--, Provided by publisher
