Blue(Bakers Mountain Stories‪)‬

When thirteen-year-old Ann Fay Honeycutt’s father goes off to fight Hitler, he hands her a pair of blue overalls to become “man of the house.” Her feelings are mixed: “Wearing britches so I could take the place of my daddy wasn’t the same
as wearing them so I could climb trees.” Ann Fay fights her resentment at losing the life she’d known just as she fights to keep the weeds and the blue wisteria from overtaking the family vegetable garden. But when a polio outbreak changes
everything again, remarkable Ann Fay needs all of her guts and resolve to face the unpredictable future.
