Stu is an Air Force brat. But for his mom's newest assignment--as base commander in Minot, North Dakota--Stu's dad and brother won't be there. The balance between loyalty and responsibility is also tested when Stu gets caught up in the neighbors' dysfunctional dynamics. Though the dialogue is forced, the book provides a realistic portrayal of the stresses of military life.
