The only thing Aurie Hargrove can remember about the end of WWII is the day her Daddy comes home. As the sound of her parents’ late-night whispers once again fills their little house at the end of an old dirt road, seven-year-old Aurie truly believes her life is perfect. But when a sudden illness puts her Momma in the hospital for an indefinite stay, the little girl’s world begins to fall apart.Gone are the days of gingerbread cookies and goodnight kisses. Instead, Aurie, the second youngest of five children, arrives home from school each day to the lonely reminder of Momma’s absence. Aurie resents her father for letting Momma leave, and he struggles to rebuild a relationship with his daughter throughout his wife’s sickness. The only one who seems to understand Aurie at all is her chatterbox Auntie Caroline, whose weekly visits to the Hargrove home bring fleeting moments of laughter and joy.As life becomes a jumble of sibling squabbles and afterschool adventure, the children are shocked to learn they will each have private visits with their mother. While her sister and brothers anxiously await their turn, Aurie refuses to go and insists she will wait until Momma returns home. As the rest of the family finds a way to cope with the loss that looms over them, Aurie must decide whether to face her fear of the hospital or risk never seeing her Momma again.
