More about the book

The story follows 12-year-old Jamie Dexter as she navigates her feelings of pride and concern when her brother TJ is deployed to Vietnam. Instead of traditional letters, TJ sends her undeveloped film rolls, which, once developed, expose the harsh realities of war. Through Jamie's perspective, the narrative explores themes of family, the impact of war on loved ones, and the stark contrast between the glorified image of military service and the grim truths captured in TJ's photographs.
