Description
It?s September 1943, and eleven-year-old Ellie McKelvey?s older brother, Jimmy, has just been drafted. Jimmy has a joyful heart and a kind word for everyone, and he?s the only person who thinks Ellie is smart and funny and as beautiful as Lana Turner, the movie star.

Notes
- In 1943, eleven-year-old Ellie is her brother Jimmy’s "best girl," and when he leaves Pittsburgh just before Thanksgiving to fight in World War II, he promises he will return, asks her to leave the Christmas tree up until he does, and reminds her to "let the joy out."
