Set against the backdrop of World War II, this poignant story unfolds through the eyes of a young girl named Piper Davis, who navigates the challenges of life in Seattle during a time of uncertainty. As the war looms, Piper reflects on her dreams, her family, and the changing landscape of her community. Through her diary entries, readers are invited into her world, where the joy of childhood grapples with the harsh realities of a nation at war.
