In the wake of World War II, Ann Fay Honeycut grapples with her
father's trauma and the physical and emotional effects of polio--finding
healing in the unlikeliest of places
Now that Daddy has returned from fighting Hitler and Ann Fay is home
from the polio hospital, life should get back to normal. But Ann Fay
discovers she no longer fits easily into old friendships and Daddy has
been traumatized by the war. Her family and social life are both falling
apart. Ever responsible, she tries to fix things until she finally
admits that she herself needs fixing.
She travels to the Georgia Warm Springs Foundation, founded by Franklin
D. Roosevelt, where she finds comfort, healing, and even a little
romance. Although this invigorating experience does not solve all her
problems, it does give Ann Fay a new view of herself.
In this Parents' Choice Awards Recommended Book, sequel to Blue, Ann
Fay makes new friends, reevaluates old relationships, and discovers her
unique place in the community.
