summary,

She soon meets a boy name Derek, due to polio he has a useless left arm. Soon letters start arriving from a anonymous person, Felicity is sure it is her parents.

Historical summary
Franklin D Roosevelt, was the 32nd president and the longest serving. His wife was Anna Eleanor Roosevelt, and together they had 6 children. He was elected March 4th 1933. In the book, Franklin Roosevelt received a letter from Felicity and replied to her letter. But was also mention quite a few times in other places of the book.
FDR in the book.
He was mention only alittle in the book. One of the biggest mention of him is when he wrote a letter back to Felicity. Other mentions of him where usually in conversations around the table or they were talking about the war.
Theme
My thought is the theme is to always move forward no matter what comes in your way. Felicity showed it when her Uncle Gideon always took the letters away. But Felitcy still found a way no matter what the obstacle.
