It’s early September 2001, and twelve-year-old Abbey is the new kid at school.  
Again.

when they don’t. 
 
Tennessee is her family’s latest stop in a series of moves based on her dad’s work in the Army, but this one might be different. For the first time, Abbey has found a real friend: loyal, courageous, athletic Camille. 
 
And then it’s September 11. The country is under attack, and Abbey’s “home” looks like it might fall apart. America has changed overnight. 
 
How are we supposed  
to keep this up  
with the world  
crumbling  
around us?
