Description
It's the summer of 1942... America is at war, men line up by the thousands to join the army, and on a tiny island off the coast of Maine, three fifteen year old boys begin a summer they will never forget.
Hermie, Oscy and Benjie are accustomed to coming up and spending the summer together, but somehow this year seems different. After meeting three girls on a beach, Hermie and his friends experience adolescent misadventures. Girls have replaced baseball and comic books, and a beautiful young war bride, Dorothy, has won the heart of Hermie. It is with Dorothy that Hermie feels most comfortable, and after she invites him over for a friendly night out at her house, Hermie discovers a devastating telegram. And in that one night, Hermie learns an important lesson about life, love and the scope of human compassion.
