The first novel by Newbery Award–winning author Nancy Willard: A
stunning story of magic and miracles, and a testament to the
enduring power of faith and love Ben and Willie Harkissian
are twin brothers (think Cain and Abel, Jacob and Esau) growing up
in Ann Arbor, Michigan, on the eve of World War II. A baseball
launched into the October sky sets in motion a series of events
that transforms many lives. Ben leaves for the front and faces
death—figuratively as well as literally. Left behind is Clare
Bishop, who has been paralyzed from the waist down. But in exchange
she receives some very special gifts. She can see the future, be at
one with animals, and chat with Death. Willie Harkissian remains in
Michigan as well, though his relationship with his brother will
never be the same. A love story interrupted by war, this is also a
novel about discovering the ordinary in the extraordinary and
finding the miraculous in everyday life.
