Illustrated by
Sonja Lamut.
Katie Roberts, the narrator of this small gem, is seven when her father leaves to serve in World War II; nine when word comes that he has been killed in action; ten when the war ends and she and her mother must make a new start in life. Lamut, whose illustrations simulating old photos appear in the two sequels about Katie, has provided similar artwork for this edition.
