  When English thirteen-year-old Rosemary is evacuated to her grandmother in America at the start of World War II, she uncovers the family secret—they are Anishinaabe and passing as white. 
   
   Life in England is all Rosemary has ever known . . . but as WWII changes the world, no one's life is left unscathed. Suddenly, she's sent away to escape the devastation of London. Her grandmother's house on Lake Superior is safe, but unfamiliar, especially as she discovers her parents have kept a tremendous secret. 
   
   Rosemary and her family are Anishinaabe—and no one is supposed to know. 
   
   Far from home but newly connected to a once-hidden part of her family, Rosemary develops a warm, close relationship with her grandmother . . . and a local boy whose love of gardening helps her to see the beauty in her unexpected circumstances. As Rosemary grows into her new life like a flower in bloom, she realizes that maybe she's not as far from home as she thought. 
   
   Tender, sophisticated, and sweet, this is a beautiful story about memory, family, and identity. Rising Ojibwe author Anna Rose Johnson addresses the trauma of World War II and the legacies of hidden indigeneity alongside coming-of-age milestones like first crushes, new schools, and beginning to imagine the life you want. Hand The Blossoming Summer to fans of Christine Day, L.M. Montgomery, and Kimberly Brubaker Bradley!

  Luke 15: 11-31  
  The Prodigal Son  
  Jesus gave them a parable and said, “A man had two sons.” 
  “The younger son said to his father, Father, give me my inheritance from now.” 
  “The father gave his two sons their inheritance.” 
  “Some days later, the younger son packed his bags and went out of the country into another far country and there he spent his money foolishly.” 
  “Now when he had spent all his money in that same country came a great famine.” 
  “When this happened, he then began to be in need. He went and stayed with a citizen of that country, and he sent him out to work on the pig farm. He fed the pigs.” 
  “And he ate the food that was for the pigs because no one gave him anything to eat.” 
  “Then one day, he looked into himself and said, why am I here? How many of my father’s servants have enough bread to eat and I am here starving.” 
  “I will get up and go back home to my father and say, I am sorry, and I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son but please make me a hired worker.”

  Nothing is going right this summer for Drew. And after losing his dad unexpectedly three years ago, Drew knows a lot about things not going right. First, it's the new girl Audrey taking over everything at the library, Drew's sacred space. Then it's his best friend, Filipe, pulling away from him. But most upsetting has to be the mysterious man who is suddenly staying with Drew's family. An old friend of Mom's? Drew isn't buying that. 
   
   
   
  With an unlikely ally in Audrey, he's determined to get to the bottom of who this man really is. The thing is, there are some fears—like what if the person you thought was your dad actually wasn't—that you can't speak out loud, not to anyone. At least that's what Drew thinks. 
   
   
   
  But then again, first impressions can be deceiving.
