After moving to California with her parents in 1967 and saying goodbye to her father as he leaves for Vietnam, Bets tries to settle into a small town routine. It doesn't take long before the town's most mysterious resident pushes Bets to reconsider how she feels about her mother, the war that has taken her father far away, and her own role in the events that show up in newspaper headlines and flash across her TV screen. "The characters unfold beautifully. They are complex, intriguing, and most of all, real." ~ Sarah Milne, English teacher, Kilmer Middle School, Fairfax County, Virginia.

Brian Herberger has made a career out of young adult fiction, either reading and discussing with his students, curling up at the end of the day with a good book, or staying up late to write his own. Brian was a middle school English teacher for fifteen years and continues to work for a public school system. When he's in a bookstore, Brian inevitably ends up browsing in the young adult books section, and his son and daughter are now old enough that they're reading the same books along with him so they can discuss over dinner. Originally from Buffalo, New York, Brian now lives, reads, and writes in the Washington, DC area.
