Produktbeschreibung

Emma dreams of becoming a teacher. She would be the first in her family to finish high school and would need a college degree to receive her teaching certificate. How can she possibly pay her own way?
Emma also dreams of becoming a wife and mother, but her boyfriend enlisted in the Army during World War II. Should they marry before he leaves or after he returns? Would he return?
Daily reality on the home front continues, but mental stress, rationing, and media war reports affect everyone. From enduring muddy roads to learning about modern warfare, everyone's perspective constantly shifts from mundane life to world-altering events.
Based on published research, family oral history, personal diaries, and letters from World War II, this inspiring narrative nonfiction story presents one young woman's resilience to achieve her dreams and to overcome life's obstacles.
