(4) 4-6 This novel in verse employs twenty-nine poetic snapshots to reveal a young girl's hopes and despair when her father, an Army doctor, is sent to Vietnam. Historical images from the sixties, such as somber newscasts, MIA reports, and an emotional homecoming, dominate; setting is emphasized over plot and character development.
Reviewer: Betty Carter
