Sally J. Freedman loves making up stories -- stories in which she is always the star of her own lavish film spectaculars. But when her close-knit family is separated because of her brothers illness even Sallys daydreams are not enough to comfort her. With her beloved father left behind in New Jersey a winter in the Florida sunshine seems gloomy & the cramped & dingy flat cant compare with her comfortable home or her new classmates with her old friends. Worst of all it is 1947 & Sally is convinced that Adolf Hitler is alive & living in Miami Beach.. .
