Bicentennial Summer: A Coming of Age Journey Across America - Hardcover
by Mary Berelson (Author)
In the summer of America's Bicentennial, thirteen-year-old Mary climbs into the back seat of her father's beat-up, baby-blue Peugeot, ready for the adventure of a lifetime. With her little twin sisters in tow, the family sets out across the country chasing promise and possibility-but the farther they travel, the more Mary begins to see her father, and the world around her, in a new light.
From roadside motels to sweeping national parks, Bicentennial Summer captures the spirit of a restless nation and the tender chaos of a family on the edge of change. Both nostalgic and deeply human, it's a portrait of innocence lost, resilience found, and the enduring hope that love-however imperfect-can still bring us home.
