NATIONAL BESTSELLER - The author of Are you There God? It's Me, Margaret returns with an adult novel that takes us back to the 1950s and introduces us to the town where she herself grew up, where a community is left reeling after a real-life tragedy when a series of airplanes fell out of the sky.

"Makes us feel the pure shock and wonder of living.... Judy Blume isn't just revered, she's revolutionary." --The New York Times Book Review
