Summer, 1944. World War II is raging in Europe. Fifteen-year-old Adam, a Yugoslavian Jew, has escaped, along with his mother and younger sister, to the safety of a refugee camp in Upstate New York. Christine, whose house is near the camp, sees in Adam's past all of the excitement and drama missing from her own life. The moment the two first see each other, they know they are meant to be together. Their parents refuse to even accept the possibility. Will their love prevail over the narrow-mindedness of the adults around them?
"Poignant, passionate, and bittersweet, their story is a moving reminder of the power of first love." ( BCCB , starred review)
"Thought-provoking . . . A timely story that probes the refugee issue with sensitivity and depth." ( The Horn Book
