In the
spring of
1945,
fifteen-year-old
Evelyn
McCallum
finds
herself
competing
with her
best friend,
Peter
Tilley, and
Stan Dawe,
the handsome
golden boy
of her
school, for
the
scholarship
that bears
her father's
name.
Although
missing in
action since
1942, Ev
clings to
the hope
that her
father might
somehow
still be
alive. As
the war ends
in Europe,
in her final
year of high
school, Ev's
life begins
to alter in
ways that
will change
her forever.
