YA
Eighteen in 1969, Brady finds herself immersed in the war at home, especially because her brother is AWOL in Vietnam, her new best friend is getting deep into the antiwar movement, and the boy she likes, Mark, is a veteran. The milieu of late-sixties countercultural Minneapolis is vividly evoked and, while the book is rather static, the tone is appealingly grownup and unpreachy.
