About this listen

From the Newbery Honor award-winning author of Getting Near to Baby comes a story of a young girl’s world being turned upside down by a war that tests family bonds.

“Couloumbis creates a vivid, affecting cast of characters, and sifts through a family’s complex sorrow, anger, and love with incisive clarity and honesty.”—Booklist, starred review

The Vietnam War is raging, and young men, including Grace’s brother, Collin, are being drafted. But Collin decides to take a stand and burn his draft card, thus igniting a war within the family.

At age thirteen, Grace finds herself bewildered and angry, thrust into a turbulent political climate, one that has her parents arguing, Collin secretly heading for Canada, and her extended family at odds.

The war is everywhere, and Grace quickly learns that she cannot escape it, no matter how hard she tries.
