If I Know It's Coming
If I Know It's Coming is a middle grade novel about a 13-year-old boy named Tim Hansen, who lives in a quaint little neighborhood in South Minneapolis. For the most part, Tim leads a normal, preteen existence. He is concerned about friendships, girls, sports, and even schoolwork from time to time. But when his mother, who is a nurse in the United States Army, is deployed to Iraq, Tim's relatively normal and happy existence gets flipped upside down. How will Tim cope without his mother? Will his family ever be the same? Middle school was unpredictable enough, but when Tim faces this sudden dose of mortality, the adventure is just beginning.
"How are kids affected when a parent goes off to war? Especially if it's their mom? IF I KNOW IT'S COMING is a powerful story of a young boy trying to get his adolescent feet on the ground when his mother isn't there to help him and the rest of his family is spinning out of control. When his mother comes back to the U. S. because she's a war casualty, he heroically sets out to help her. An endearing story of family and hope."

"The author does a wonderful job of capturing Tim's ambivalence about his mother's military duty. The other kids think it's cool, and he agrees, but it's almost as though he's ashamed that his life is so different. This is a cool book for kids whose parents are serving or their friends who want to be supportive."
Mary Ann Grossmann

"If I Know It's Coming is not just about worrying about our love ones who are far away, it's more about finding our real friends who will stay with us even in the bad times, it's about the bond that keeps us as a family, and it's about the happy memories we shared with them."
Erleen Gonzalez
Books For YA
"There are moments of teenage awkwardness and humor that made this story endearing. While it is a middle-grade read, it is a book for teenagers, adults, and everyone in between. It would be a great book to read as a family. I enjoyed it and will recommend it again and again."
