Love, empathy, and forgiveness

The Mockingbird family has always lived peacefully in Jubilee, Kentucky, despite the divisions that mark their small town. Unfortunately, in the tense summer of 1963, their youngest child, Isaac, falls gravely ill. Middle sister Grace, nearly fourteen, is determined to do whatever it takes to save her little brother. With her parents away at the hospital, Grace is left under the loving but inexperienced eye of her aunt June, with little to do but wait and worry.

Inspired by a young teacher’s mission for change, she begins to flirt with danger—and with a gifted boy named Golden, who just might be the key to saving Isaac’s life. Then the unthinkable happens, and the world as she knows it shifts in ways she never could have imagined.
