After fifty years, the secret of what happened in the big house still haunts Jane Weinberg and her alone because she is the only one who remembers. Jane has been Underdog Girl! all her life by protecting her younger siblings from the truth. I don't believe I will ever get over being shoved. It wasn't that being shoved was the worst part. It's how it was done, with such real unquestionable hate for our very existence. Jane Weinberg identifies with the 1960's cartoon, The Underdog Show, and applies cartoon themes to her life's problems along with her grandparents' wisdom. But will cartoon themes be enough to fall back on when she and her siblings fly for their lives? The Underdog Show empowered children to believe they could overcome adversaries during a time when America's young men were sacrificed during an extended war in Vietnam. The truth bled across the screen each day and the hippies in the alley gave Jane details while the groovy drummer across the street serenaded her family with hard rock. Divorce, abuse, depression, and drugs are big problems for a young girl, but as fast as lightning, quicker than a spark, Jane grabs fate and heals her heart.
