“Winter’s prose is sweet, lyrical, and haunting in places, and will leave readers wondering what other amazing stories are hidden deep inside the hearts of the old people they know….   This book is perfect for young children just learning America’s history, long-time history buffs, and readers who love a stroll down memory lane . . . even if that stroll leads them past a few dark and poignant places.”
