Present, Still Missing - Paperback

After three long years of war, twelve-year-old Irene can't wait for life to return to normal when her father finally comes home. But the playful daddy who once played tic-tac-toe in church and encouraged her to wear pants if she "blanged-well wanted to" seems lost in the shadows of his wartime experiences. As his nightmares, outbursts, and deep sadness grow worse instead of better, Irene realizes she may be losing her father all over again - this time to the echoes of war that refuse to fade.

In this poignant post-WWII story, one determined girl must find the courage and strength to help her father heal from the invisible wounds of war before it's too late. Present, Still Missing explores the lasting impact of war on families and reminds us that sometimes the bravest battles are fought on the home front.
