PEACEKEEPERS

By: Linden, Dianne

Nell's trying to be understanding about her mother's chosen mission, to go halfway around the world to be a peacekeeper, even though she's a single mom and has to leave Nell and her brother with their uncle Martin. --Even though a classmate, Sam, emerges as a friend, Nell finally has to face her fears and tormenters. Dianne Linden has pulled no punches in this compelling, dramatic, often humorous, portrait of children struggling to cope with absent parents in difficult times. TitlePeek
