β¦ Synopsis
In Here to StayJohn Hersey tells of episodes in the past twenty years in which Man has courageously risen above desperate situations and shown his determination to survive despite the threats of the nuclear age.
Mr. Hersey first tells the story of an old lady marooned on a rooftop amidst floods caused by a hurricane. He ends with his famous Hiroshima, the story of the survivors of the first atomic bombing, written from personal investigation, with horrifying detail and compassionate indignation.
Between these two pieces we read of John Kennedy's heroism in rescuing the crew of his PT boat, sunk by the Japanese, seventeen years before he became President; a Jew's suffering in Auschwitz; a crippled G.I.'s difficulties in adjusting himself to civilian life; the rehabilitation of a soldier paralyzed with fright; the adventures of two Poles who survived persecution; and a most moving account of an escape from Hungary in 1956.

Sixteen-year-old Ivy Archer is arguably the best warrior-in-training Gob Hollow has ever seen. Yet everyone--except her best friend she suddenly has other feelings for--looks down on her because she's only half goblin, with no idea what the other half is. She's always suspected it might be human.
