rachelm31f6b 's review for:
The War I Finally Won
by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley
"Fear and what you did with it were two separate things"(371).
This book. After loving the first book the second book doesn't disappoint.
Ada faces new challenges. She learns to walk using her newly fixed foot. She learns more about the outside world and language. She and Jamie try to settle in with Susan as a tentative family, as the book goes on their little family grows. Lady Thorton moves in and Ada learns that being rich doesn't always keep you from problems and doesn't always mean you know everything. "I never thought of Lady Thorton as being ashamed of anything. I never thought to anyone besides myself feeling ashamed"(285).
As this groups struggles through World War II, we are able to view the problems they face. The Jewish/German girl who moves in creates a new issue. The war comes to their door in a couple different ways. I really don't want to say more and ruin the book (this or first). Worth a read quick and real.
I laughed, learned and yes I did cry.
