The Art of Keeping Cool Unknown - 2002
by Lisle, Janet Taylor
From the publisher
In the spring of 1942, Nazi submarines are torpedoing U.S. ships off the coast of Rhode Island, and fear permeates the town where Robert and his family are living out the war. Robert is afraid of his controlling grandfather and wonders about the family secret involving his father, whose name is never mentioned in the house. Robert also worries about his cousin Elliot's dangerous friendship with a reclusive German painter.
As the war rages on, will Elliot be able to sustain the prejudice and suspicions that erupt into violence . . . and will Robert find a way to deal with his family's shocking past?
