The Impossible Knife of Memory by Laurie Halse Anderson

Hayley is used to moving around. In fact, this is the first year that she will be in school following her less than ordinary "homeschool" education.

Post-traumatic stress disorder is a relevant and heartbreaking reality for many families whose loved ones have come home from war changed. This title sheds light on the power of trust and forgiveness for all those affected.
