After sixteen-year-old Hallie's mother dies, she loses herself in caring for her seven brothers and sisters. Then the outbreak of World War I divides her tiny Oklahoma town, bringing a mysterious draft-dodger searching for refuge in the hills. Neighbors mistrust neighbors, fear turns to anger-and love forces Hallie to stand up for what she knows is right. In a novel of exceptional power and grit, Hallie is the true article: her strength comes from character, guts, and necessity. This novel is very nearly inspirational. -- Kirkus Reviews, pointer review Anna Myers is the author of four novels, including the award-winning Red-Dirt Jessie and its sequel, Spotting the Leopard (both Puffin). She lives in Chandler, Oklahoma.
