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 />
