In 1933 as the Great Depression worsens, 17-year-old Lisenka (Lis) and her friends hope the Civilian Conservation Corp (CCC), a work program for young men, will be a financial answer to prayer. But how will they cope when the young men are sent away to work? BLUE As in Sad Goodbyes, a Changing Sky, and Wedding Ties jumps between Lis and her friend Albert's points of view as each had new challenges to face. Desperate for employment, the men head to Fort Sheridan for training in the CCC. Back home, Lis juggles friend and family problems. While working in the Northwoods, Albert is injured. Immediately, Lis travels by train to visit him, there discovering something she knew all along. In this the fifth book of the series, the main characters learn the value of persevering. This historical fiction novel is written for young adults.
