Piper Lee was named after her father’s favorite plane. Years after
the disappearance of her beloved father in a plane crash, Piper struggles to
accept the new man her mother is preparing to marry. She yearns to find
her father alive in order to replace the other man. She breaks all kinds
of rules and learns, in the end, of the love of her new family.
This sweet
coming of age story teaches many life lessons through Piper, including a very
modern learning experience about internet safety. Youth who have experienced
death or separation of a parent will relate to the feelings of this developing
girl.
