"Set against the backdrop of a Lebanese-American mill town ghetto in the mid-1950s, this evocative work of historical fiction reflects a time when the emergence of television and the audacity of rock n' roll sparked the spirit of the young, and opened for them a new world of hope and possibilities. Through the voice of a young girl, Earl Smith has masterfully written this fascinating story that will make you laugh and cry, and in the end, make you very glad you've read it." --- Linda Greenlaw
