She's not sure where she belongs, until she meets Curtis. Curtis knows for certain where he does not want to be and that's to be back in the army. He is happy to be in Ohio, where it is quiet and he can spend time with Shoogy. But when Curtis gets orders to return to Iraq, will belonging with each other be enough to keep Shoogy and Curtis together? Angela Johnson takes us back to Heaven, Ohio in this bittersweet tale of first love found and lost.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>*"Johnson's evocative yet starkly simple language powerfully shows the devastating effects of the war on one small community...the characters and circumstances are never anything less than rich and real."-- "Kirkus Reviews, starred review, on Sweet, Hereafter (A Kirkus Best Book of 2010)"<br><br>This thoughtful tale, with its quietly poetic sensibility and timely themes, will resonate with those who are grieving the loss of loved ones because of the war. -- <b><i>BULLETIN, </i>March 1, 2010</b><br>
