The War I Finally Won by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley
4.0

I wasn't really sure that the original book needed a sequel, but I think this one may even be better than the first book. The author really brings the time and place to life, not to mention really getting into the head of a traumatized girl recovering from a history of childhood abuse. I read the book in a single session today, and teared up in the best way several times. Ada is such a striking and remarkable protagonist, and while I feel this book wrapped her story up well, I could definitely read more books about her.
