    Summary

    That was the summer of 1963. That was before President Kennedy was shot, before the Beatles came, when I still thought I could join the Chicago Cubs someday, and I honestly believed I’d be swept off my feet if only I could find a guy as great as my dad.

    Or, Carson Shaw is eighteen, and she can’t imagine either falling in love or disappointing her father—until she meets Greta Gill.

    Summary

    In all her life, Greta had lost count of the trains she had taken to run towards something new, uncertain but necessary, and there wasn't a single time Jo wasn't with her. This time, though, she was standing in front of those smoke-blackened doors, bags at her feet and a heart heavy with the bittersweet taste of a kiss that lingered on her lips, of an unspoken promise, and no one was by her side.
    This time, she simply could not move onto the next city as if nothing had happened.

     

    or, the time Greta tries to walk away, the time she goes back to Carson.
