(3) 4-6 In 1980, memories of her past haunt twelve-year-old Tracy, a Vietnamese orphan adopted by a California couple. A soldier's dogtag turns out to be the key to Tracy's identity and to her father's secretive, sometimes angry behavior. As Tracy struggles to find a sense of belonging, her history is revealed through brief, effective flashbacks. The story reverberates with the aftereffects of war.
