Lily s best friend, Margaret, has moved to a wartime factory town, and, much worse, Lily s father is going overseas to the war. There s no one Lily s age in Rockaway until the arrival of Albert, a refugee from Hungary with a secret sewn into his coat. Albert has lost most of his family in the war; he s been through things Lily can t imagine. But soon they form a special friendship.
