• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A poignant story of a young girl desperate to do her part during World War II, and the loyalty, sacrifice, and friendship she finds in her community. It's 1943, and everyone says the war will be over soon-World War II, that is-but Teresa Marks wonders exactly when that day will come. Her older brother, Jeff, is fighting overseas, and Teresa worries about him returning home to Kansas safely. As a way of speeding Jeff's return, Teresa and her dad help the war effort by planting a victory garden. They plant tomatoes (Jeff's favorite!) and win taste-testing duels with a curmudgeonly neighbor. But as the war begins striking closer to home, Teresa's faith in secret weapons, victory gardens, people, and in life itself begins to shatter. Now Teresa must rely on her community, and her own strength, to get her through to the other side.
