"Fayette County, Pennsylvania, 1952: 16-year-old Neely Cole struggles in the shadow of his much-admired older brother Aidan, who is off fighting a distant enemy in Korea.

As Emily's attachment to Aidan grows, however, Neely finds himself struggling with strange feelings of his own--the dull ache of a nagging conscience and an unspoken desire to claim Emily for himself." --
