Currently reading this book with dc and we're trying to decipher a bit which feels pivotal towards the end of the book. It's where Rachel and her brother Charles visit the Immigration museum on Ellis Island with her father with his history class. On seeing records of their immigrant great grandparents, Charles runs out and and jumps on the seawall, amid fears he was about to throw himself into the sea. What made him do this?
Really intrigued. I think it may have something to do with the fact that he realised his father had kept their original immigrant surname.

@StaceySolomonSwash I think it's the most thought provoking and adult of her children's books. Definitely worth a read

@StaceySolomonSwash It’s a continuation of Just As Long As We’re Together, from another character’s point of view. Really well observed and written as ever.
