After Japanese bombs rain from the skies at Pearl Harbor, the world of Alexandra Lillis is drastically changed. Two close male relatives go off to war, and America becomes a society of families left behind to worry, pray, and wonder about the future. The Lillis family must be strong, and Alexandra has much to learn about the effects of war-especially since it will not be the last wartime she lives through. Will war and its aftermath affect Alexandra and her family permanently? In Their Shadows Remain, the strong and clever survive, and the honorable and brave take their place in postwar America to rebuild the country and alter the course of this nation. Readers will see it all through the eyes of a young girl.
