Summary:
It's 1941, and tensions are rising in the United States as the Second World War rages in Europe. Eleven-year-old Gusta's life, like the world around her, is about to change. Her father, a foreign-born labor organizer, has had to flee the country, and Gusta has been sent to live in an orphanage run by her grandmother. She finds herself facing patriotism turned to prejudice, alien registration drives, and a family secret likely to turn the small town upside down.
