On a hill above Puget Sound during World War II, young Lindy McKinsey watches her family build a new house—and her fascination with the reclusive, unsettling Barbar family next door draws her into a world of secrets, violence, and danger. As war anxieties mount and Pearl Harbor is attacked, Lindy navigates prejudice, family tension, and the mysterious beauty of the golden-haired Sarah. A haunting, atmospheric coming-of-age novel about innocence, fear, and the search for truth.
- A child's-eye view of the WWII home front, where the real menace may be next door
- Atmospheric, literary storytelling in the vein of To Kill a Mockingbird's outsider-family tension
- A haunting exploration of prejudice—who are the real 'barbarians' in wartime?
- The mystery of the secretive Barbar family unfolds through a curious girl's forbidden visits
“The first I saw of Sarah was a flash of red—like a wound on the background of the gray body of water that was Puget Sound.”
Perfect for an adult reader who enjoys atmospheric, literary WWII home-front fiction with a child's perspective and doesn't require an overtly LDS storyline.
