Description
In the midst of World War II, Ada Ruth’s world shifts when her mother leaves for Chicago to work, forcing her to stay behind with Grandma. As seasons change and the days stretch long, Ada Ruth learns what it means to miss someone deeply—and to find love, stability, and small comforts in unexpected places. Through lyrical, emotionally honest storytelling, this coming-of-age novel explores family bonds, resilience, and the ache of separation, while honoring the everyday rituals that help a child endure. Jacqueline Woodson’s distinctive voice brings warmth and clarity to themes of home, longing, and hope, making this a powerful read for anyone who has ever waited for someone they love to come back.
