Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
In the wake of World War II, Ann Fay Honeycut grapples with her father's trauma and the physical and emotional effects of polio--finding healing in the unlikeliest of places
Now that Daddy has returned from fighting Hitler and Ann Fay is home from the polio hospital, life should get back to normal. But Ann Fay discovers she no longer fits easily into old friendships and Daddy has been traumatized by the war. Her family and social life are both falling apart. Ever responsible, she tries to fix things until she finally admits that she herself needs fixing.
She travels to the Georgia Warm Springs Foundation, founded by Franklin D. Roosevelt, where she finds comfort, healing, and even a little romance. Although this invigorating experience does not solve all her problems, it does give Ann Fay a new view of herself.
In this Parents' Choice Awards Recommended Book, sequel to Blue , Ann Fay makes new friends, reevaluates old relationships, and discovers her unique place in the community.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 301-304).
In 1945 Hickory, North Carolina, Ann Fay's father is back from the war but she must still rely on her own strength and determination as she faces the problems of her polio-induced disability and her father's failure to get a job. Includes facts about the disability rights movement.
