It's 1969 and the world is in upheaval- not that Gavenia would notice. She's consumed by her disastrous first year of college in New York. When her big brother returns from Vietnam - minus one leg with a crippling case of PTSD - she returns to her hometown of Boring, Oregon to be with him. Gavenia is not your typical nineteen-year-old. She's a ginger-haired book nerd with her own chair at the library, and whose best friends are a group of hip grannies. She is the outcast of her outrageous British family who refuse to deal with anything uncomfortable. They swallow emotions with a stiff drink and view mocking as a family sport. Her return home means she must face a lifetime of ridicule and disappointment. Gavenia discovers that she might be the only one who can save her brother from devastation. But first, she must save herself. She's in for one hell of a summer. A heartwarming coming of age novel that will make you cry and laugh all in the same chapter.
