Now Dorothea, at twenty-three, is leaving this place in search of her missing brother--and venturing into the wide world for the first time. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Dorothea's search will turn into an odyssey of discovery, leading to the truth of her family's past and the terrifying day that changed her father forever. But Dorothea's journey will also introduce her to an unusual cast of characters, including a homeless girl from Missouri who becomes a jazz singer and a social worker whose mistake in judgment changes her best friend's life. And she will meet Stephen, a doctor turned cabdriver who, after suffering his own losses, has lost his ability to believe in a meaningful world. Together, they have a chance to make a discovery of a different kind: that though a heart can be broken by the tragic events of a day, a day can also bring a new chance at love and a deeper understanding of life's infinite possibilities. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Beautifully written, with a spellbinding story, \u003ci\u003eOnce Upon a Day\u003c\/i\u003e is \"a lyrically poignant reminder of the necessity of hope\" (\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e, starred review).\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLisa Tucker is the bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eThe Promised World\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Cure for Modern Life\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eOnce Upon a Day\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eShout Down the Moon\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Song Reader\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e. \u003c\/i\u003eHer short work has appeared in \u003ci\u003eSeventeen\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003ePages\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Oxford American\u003c\/i\u003e.
