Eleven-year-old Felicity Bathburn Budwig is deposited with relatives in coastal Maine to escape the Blitz. Where her parents have gone--and why--are just two of the family's many secrets. When Uncle Gideon starts receiving mysterious letters, Flissy, suspecting they're from her parents, resolves to solve the puzzle. The story's strands satisfyingly come together in an intrigue-filled plot with well-integrated historical and literary references.
