Re-live one unforgettable summer in 1968 through the eyes of a ten-year-old girl.

>> Read the first chapter

It's 1968 and ten-year-old A.J. Degulio is having the best summer vacation of her young life, hanging out with her dog Sailor at the lake, alternately playing and fighting with her four siblings, and driving her mother crazy with her fake Southern accent.

When she meets Danny Morgan—who shares her love of star-gazing and deep thoughts—it seems that she's met a soul mate. But Danny's family is falling apart, and the wreckage affects both the Degulios and the Morgans. It takes a tragedy to reveal the high price of betrayal ... and the hope that lies in forgiveness.

"A. J. Degulio brought me back to that wonderful era between hamsters and boys, keeping a smile on my face even through tears.  A heartwarming, refreshing story!"
─ Karen Harter, author of Where Mercy Flows and Autumn Blue
