An enjoyable, earnest look at growing up. - Kirkus Reviews
The year was 1969. Neil Armstrong walked on the moon, the war was raging in Vietnam, the hippies were making love, and Susie and Pete were fraternal twins growing up. She was popular, cute, outrageous, and constantly getting them into trouble. He was calm, collective, smart, and constantly getting them out of trouble. They were fifth graders on the verge of adulthood, dealing with events of the times while playing youthful games together and forming an inseparable bond.
The time is present day. Susie and Pete are grown with their own families, enjoying the Christmas day tradition back at home with their parents. Except their older brother is missing. Russell is spending this season away with his wife's family. This brings back the anxiety of the 1969 holidays when he served in Vietnam. Reminisce with Pete as he recalls the games he and Susie played as kids, and the lessons they learned.
This is a 20-chapter book of short heartwarming stories told by Pete about his fraternal twin sister, Susie, and their childhood adventures growing up together.
