Lily's Crossing is a touching story set during the summer of 1944, a time when World War II has changed the lives of many. Every summer, Lily and her father spend their days at their family’s house in Rockaway, near the Atlantic Ocean. But this summer is different.

With her father called overseas and her best friend Margaret moving to a wartime factory town, Lily is left to navigate this new world with her grandmother. Enter Albert, a refugee from Hungary who has lost much of his family to the war. Together, Lily and Albert form a special friendship, sharing secrets and building trust.

However, the lies they've told could have serious consequences—especially one lie that may cost Albert his life. This beautifully woven narrative explores themes of friendship, trust, and the realities of war.
