Annotation:
Life changes for a girl named Jasmyn when her single mother is called up from the army reserves to serve in the Persian Gulf War. With her mother overseas, Jasmyn is forced to live with her mother's rather irresponsible boyfriend, Jake--the father of her new half-brother. Feeling overwhelmed, Jasmyn finds herself acting more adult than Jake--caring for him, the house, and even the baby.
