(3) YA When Aunt Odella sends Levi to live with his father at an army post in North Carolina, Levi, thirteen, is both hopeful and wary. World War II is winding down, but as Levi discovers, his father, leader of a segregated paratrooper division, has a secret mission that takes them both to--of all places--Oregon. This homefront story is deliberately but steadily paced, and the Jim Crow era is well evoked.
