"It is about a family posted to an Air Force Base in Canada. There are different plots, some about reactions to the cold war and others are family issues."by Marie T. Roy R. (see profile) 02/25/06

I thought this was a compelling book. The author makes you care about the characters. The book is hard to put down until the end. Writing is excellent.
