**Intact Gift Giving Condition book**

Captain Miller died in Vietnam, nearly two years ago, but Luke still insists his father will come home when the war is over. In 1969, Luke Miller is fourteen and lives with his mother at an old marina on the coast of South Carolina. When Connie and her father stop to make repairs on their yacht, Luke finally makes a friend his own age. Having lost her brother, Connie relates to Luke in ways no one else can, but even she can’t make him admit that his father is dead.
