Breadcumbs to the StarsBy Jerry V. Behimino

About this audiobook
In the uncertain months after September 11, 2001, sixteen-year-old Elina “Eli” Fomes watches her Navy father deploy and feels the world she knew begin to disappear. Searching for something steady, Eli turns to rockets, music, late-night AIM conversations, and a student-made zine that gives her and her friends a place to speak honestly.
As the zine grows beyond anything they expected, Eli must face school censorship, family secrets, and the fear that moving forward means leaving part of herself behind. Guided by Orion, scattered memories, and the people who refuse to let her withdraw, she begins to discover that courage is not always loud. Sometimes it is simply choosing to participate in life again.
Starlight in a Dark Sky is a nostalgic young adult story about military families, friendship, grief, creativity, and finding small lights when the path ahead is uncertain.
