Publisher Description: Set first in Roswell New Mexico in 1947, and later in America during the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, 1947 continues the story of the Roswell UFO incident. Toni is a fifteen year-old alien orphaned when her parents' flying saucer is shot down over Roswell New Mexico on July 8, 1947. She's been raised in hiding by former Air Force Nurse Naomi Selff who stole her as an infant from the wreckage. Believing the child she names Antonia after her mother, and mistakingly believing that Toni is the only alien on earth, Naomi teaches her to hide in plain sight by camouflaging her alien appearance and abilities. Naomi thinks she's succeeded until Toni's first kiss. |
