Publisher HaperCollins Publishers
Your Eyes in Stars
Preview: Hear it

Two unlikely friendsElisa, a German outsider, and Jessie, the daughter of the local prison wardenmeet during the Depression. In Elisas faroff homeland, a new dictator is spreading the stain of hate, but the two girls are absorbed in matters closer at hand. Together they explore their small town, dream of the future, and talk about Slater Carr, the angelfaced prisoner whose nightly bugle rendition of Taps holds their small town in thrall and whose actions, one Halloween night, will change everything. You think about Slater, Jessie says. I give him to you. A time will come when she will remember saying that to Elisa and regret it with all her heart. Margaret A. Edwards Awardwinner M. E. Kerr creates a compelling portrait of America between the World Wars, of friendship, and of innocence lost.
