Another book from the Dear America series and I enjoyed the book so much!!! This book takes place in 1941 right when the United States enters into World War II. The characters were great!!! I rated the book a 4 out of 5 stars.

Well I finished first. Allison wanted to procrastinate and read other books instead of reading along with me. Damn kids!

I‘m looking forward to trying the recipe for WW2 Oatmeal Molasses Cookies thats in the back of the book. The Historical Note is always my favorite part of these novels.

KateFulfordAuthor So check in with the recipe review, won‘t you?! 6y

I was going to read the 3rd book in the Chintz n‘ China series but then my daughter comes into my room asking if I have a copy of this book. I told her I did and decided to do a buddy read with her! I‘m so glad she has finally developed a love of reading!! 😊💜

I'm not familiar with this series but I like this article from the Atlantic about their value. http://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2016/09/dear-america-brought-hi...
