In the unlikely event
(Large Print)

Thirty-five years after a series of airplanes crashed in New Jersey, Miri Ammerman returns to her hometown of Elizabeth to attend a commemoration of the worst year in her life.

When a series of passenger airplanes crashed in Elizabeth, N.J., within a three-month period in 1951-1952, Judy Blume was a teenager. "These events have lingered in my mind ever since," says Blume. Against this background, Blume uses her imagination to bring us the lives of three generations of families, friends, and strangers who will be profoundly affected by these events, either directly or indirectly. This is Blume's first novel for adults since "Summer Sisters," the largely popular bestseller still sold today.
