Description
A plane has crashed into the World Trade Center on a typical Tuesday morning in Brooklyn. For 13-year-old Wendy, this news brings devastating reality: her mother's office building has been destroyed. As she navigates the aftermath of this tragedy, Wendy's life is forever changed. With her father absent for years, he suddenly reappears, taking Wendy back to California. She must rebuild her life in a one-room apartment with limited possessions. Along the way, she meets new people who introduce her to different worlds and experiences. As Wendy grows to know her real father, she uncovers painful memories of her mother and begins to heal. Through this poignant coming-of-age story, Joyce Maynard explores the complexities of family life, love, and loss.
