The one place Hannah hopes to leave suddenly becomes the one place she'll do anything to save.
Hannah craves excitement, but all local adventures dried up long ago, when her parents unpacked their wagon on the Michigan frontier. Then war breaks out and her father and brother leave to fight the Confederacy. Hannah is left at home chaffing under the boredom of never-ending chores—until the farm is threatened.
The one place she longs to leave suddenly becomes the one place she’ll do anything to save.
Based on the memoirs of a Pearl Harbor survivor. Letters from two pen pals take the reader on a journey into the past, a past where nightmares came true, and when hatred reigned.
