This book could not have been released at a better time! Set during the height of the Spanish influenza outbreak of 1918, Pia, a thirteen year old German immigrant, her mother and little brothers attend the famous Liberty Loan Parade in Philadelphia. The chain of events that follow changes her life in ways she could never imagine. During a time of much racism against Germans and fear of dying of an aggressive flu strain, Pia faces many trials and prejudices while trying to stay strong enough to reunite her family.
I absolutely loved this enthralling story! Extremely well written and researched, with well developed characters that you can't help but feel strongly about! Pia's story is so heart gripping, and the villian was spot on! This is a book that will stand the test of time! I will be rereading it for years to come, and recommending it to all my reader friends!
