Alice Bliss<br />
A Novel<br />
Laura Harrington<br />
Tomboy Alice Bliss is heartbroken when she learns that her<br />
father, Matt, is being deployed to Iraq. Matt will miss seeing Alice<br />
blossom into a full-blown teenager: she’ll learn to drive, join the<br />
track team, go to her first dance, and fall in love—all while trying<br />
to be strong for her mother, Angie, and her precocious little sister.<br />
But the phone calls from her father are never long enough. At once<br />
universal and very personal, Alice Bliss is a profoundly moving<br />
story about those who are left at home during wartime and a<br />
small-town teenage girl bravely facing the future.<br />
