(4) YA While his older brother is stationed in Vietnam, teenage Jimmy reminisces about their childhood experiences and describes how the family is now dealing with Frank's absence. Letters from Frank begin each chapter and reveal that he has become addicted to heroin after being wounded. There is an aloof quality to the prose, but the author exhibits a sure hand in exploring the dynamics of a troubled family.
