    About this ebook

    Emma Smith does her best to ignore all the hoopla about the upcoming Valentine's Day dance, including her friend's persistent attempt to get Emma a hot date. She's focused on what's important: acing chemistry class, and trying to reach her brother, who's serving in the Air Force.

    Everything changes when Emma, along with most every other human being, witnesses world-changing history.
