Autumn Street
A subtle and haunting memory piece unfolds as an adult looks back on the events of her sixth year when her father fought in World War II and when the remaining family lived with relatives. Childhood innocence enables grim and suspense-filled human events to be sustained. ©1980 Cooperative Children's Book Center
