The War I Finally Won by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley
5.0

The book touched my heart as much as the first one. The continuing story of Ada and her family give me hope for humanity. Maybe we can learn to understand people who are different from us.

I love how this book focuses on the strengths of the women (and girls) left on the home front. I love that this book doesn't shy away from the hardships and devastation of war. The author continues to show us that grief touches everyone, regardless of who you are. This book made me cry alongside the characters in both grief and happiness.

Please read The War That Saved My Life first. You need to go on the whole journey with these characters.
