When twelve-year-old Jack's father is killed in Afghanistan, her mother falls apart and sends Jack and her two younger siblings to live on the other side of Canada with the great-grandmother they've never met. Jack buries her own emotions to help her family members adjust to their new lives. Sympathetic characters carry the story where the writing falters.
