rrified when her single mother is called up from the army reserves to go to Saudi Arabia at the start of the Persian Gulf War. Her mother is gone two days later, leaving Jasmyn with Jake, her mother’s boyfriend and the father of her baby half brother. Suddenly Jas finds herself in charge of running the house and caring for the baby. Now there’s no time for practice with her school basketball team.

Feeling abandoned and overwhelmed, Jas wonders how much longer this can go on.
From the Back Cover:
"Jasmyn is an immensely appealing character who manages to cope with an increasingly chaotic home situation. . . . [Mead] writes with the same compassion and sensitivity to the disruption of family life, the uncertainty, and fear she portrayed in Adem’s Cross."— Booklist, Starred
