In rural Iowa in 1941, twelve-year-old Peggys quiet life is turned upside down by refugee arrivals, first love, and a heartbreaking diagnosis.
Growing up a farm girl, Peggys life has never been particularly exciting. But a lot changes in 1941. Her friend Joe starts acting strange around her. The Quaker hostel nearby reopens to house Jewish refugees from Europe, including a handsome boy named Gunther and a troubled professor of nothing. And her cousin and best friend, Delia, is diagnosed with leukemiaand doesnt even know it.
Peggy has always been rational. She may not be able to understand poetry and speak in metaphors like Delia, but she has to believe she can find a way out of this mess, for both of them. There has to be a cure. And yet the more she tries to control, the more powerless she feels. She cant make Gunther see her the way she sees him. She cant help the Professor find his missing daughter. Shes tired of feeling young and naive, but growing up is proving even worse.
A historical coming-of-age novel that feels as alive and present as today, Scattergood offers even readers familiar with World War II a fascinating new glimpse of history, far from the battlefields of Europe and the shores of New York City. H.M. Bouwman presents a raw and unapologetic snapshot of a girl battling her own shortcomings and the random nature of life.
