Publisher's summary

Macy Hollinquest is 11 years old, and don't count on her to change that anytime soon.

Her birthday is just days away, but she has no intention of turning 12 without her dad by her side. He promised to be there for her big day, yet he's been gone for months - away after his discharge from the army, doing some kind of top secret "important work".

So Macy's staying 11 no matter what - that is, until she meets Ginger, a nice older lady who is searching for her missing dog. Ginger's dog search is the perfect cover for Macy's attempt to locate her dad. But her hunt puts her on a path to a head-on collision with the truth, where she discovers that knowing can sometimes be a heavy burden. And that change, when finally accepted, comes with an unexpected kind of grace.

Mary Penney's earnest, heartfelt story of change, loss, and new beginnings will resonate with young listeners on the cusp of new beginnings and stay in their hearts long after it's done.
