Journey to Welcome
Description:
A novel for Young Adults. In 1942, thirteen-year-old Karrie and her brother Marty travel from New York City to a small, dusty town in the Texas hill country. When Marty enlists in the Navy, he leaves Karrie to spend the war years with her stern grandfather and well-meaning great-aunts. Karrie grows in character and strength as she faces down rumors about her missing father, confronts the local bully, befriends a lonely misfit, and solves a family mystery dating back to the Civil War. Interwoven with the plot are events of World War II, echoes of past wars and Texas history, themes of family grudges and forgiveness, and the flavor and humor of small-town life in Texas.
