What does you in--brain or heart? Frannie asks herself this question when, a week before she
turns fifteen, her dad dies, leaving her suddenly deprived
of the only human being on planet Earth she feels
understands her. Frannie struggles to make sense of a world
that no longer seems safe, a world in which one moment can
turn things so thoroughly for the worse. She discovers an
elegant wooden box with an inscription: Frances Anne 1000.
Inside, Frannie finds one thousand hand-painted and -carved
puzzle pieces. She wonders if her father had a premonition
of his death and finished her birthday present early.
Feeling broken into pieces herself, Frannie slowly puts the
puzzle together, bit by bit. But as she works, something
remarkable begins to happen: She is catapulted into an
ancient foreign landscape, a place suspended in time where
she can discover her father as he was B.F.--before Frannie. Delia Ephron makes you laugh and makes you cry--often at the
same time!
