Sometimes growing up is like waking
from a deep sleep. Twelve-year-old Buhlaire
Sims doesn t know anything about her past
--something her mom, the singer Bluezy
Sims, and her aunt Digna don t talk about.
She s never thought about why there are no
photographs of herself as a child anywhere
in her home, or why personal items and
household knickknacks are kept under lock
and key.
Buh[aire accepts that her dad was called
Missing in Action, but she doesn t know who
told her that, or what it really means. Girls in
her class avoid being seen alone with her,
and she blames it on her odd-acting family
and the unusual way they live. Furthermore,
the boy who teases her and makes her life
miserable in school follows her everywhere
she goes.
Suddenly, for Buhlaire, growing up is like
waking from hibernation. She realizes that
she s been living like a sleepwalker. She~ let
people tell her anything, and she s believed
it--until one icy day in winter, all at once,
nothing makes any sense. Does her morn
think she takes things? Does Aunt Digna not
like her? Why won t anyone talk about her
dad?
In the snowy fields and above the frozen
riverbanks of her hometown, Plain City,
Buhlaire s world is about to come apart. And
nothing she thought was commonplace will
ever seem ordinary again.
