He d promised to be there for her big day and yet he s been gone for months, away doing some kind of secret important work after being discharged from the Marines. So she s staying eleven, no matter what that is, until she meets Ginger, a nice older lady who is searching for her missing dog. Could Ginger be the perfect cover for attempting to locate her dad?
