About this book

Home Front Girl is a diary of growing up in wartime America, written by Joan Wehlen Morrison. The sample entry, dated Wednesday, December 10, 1941, records news of Hitler's speech to the Reichstag and the first casualty lists from the radio, set beside ordinary school life: reading in the library, lunch, physical science and calculus.

Alongside the war news, the diary turns to love and books, and it shows the writer working through what she reads. Readers interested in home-front history and in the voices of young people during the war will find it a close and personal source.
