Eleven-year-old narrator Macy's father hasn't returned home since coming back from Iraq. She knows he's working on a "special project that is extremely important," but she fears he won't be back in time for her birthday. Penney's novel brings to light some of the issues families of military personnel face. Readers will enjoy Macy's independent, adventurous spirit in this story about growing up, friendship, and forgiveness.
