Sometimes fathers go away.  In this case, Kathi's father is working in the middle east and is gone for a long time.  Kathi shares her feelings in a series of poetic vignettes that tell of her life from junior high through high school.   How her father's stay extended for years.  How the family changed so much when he returned.  How no matter what happened, he was always her father.  This is the story of author Kathi Appelt's childhood told in a very moving style.
