"Rapt readers don’t need to know anything about Vietnam to understand love, loss, fear, and waiting. A tour de force." — KIRKUS REVIEWS (starred review) When the six-year-old narra tor of this lyric novel watches her father march off to serve a year in the U.S. Army Medical Corps, a year seems like a very long time. A year is a long time when you’re waiting for letters, waiting for word. A year is almost forever when you’re wondering . . .and forgetting. Maria Testa has written a taut and tender American ballad of one family’s experience in the year 1968 — an ultimately heartening novel that has much to say to a new generation of readers.ASIN: 0763633666VSKU: 56JR8Y00048G_nsCondition: AcceptableAuthor/Artist:Testa, MariaBinding: PaperbackNote: Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.
