Love this book
I found this book at a rummage sale. One of the best dollars I ever spent. This is an engaging look at a little known part of history (African-American women soldiers during WW2), and also a modern grandma (Mare), trying to get to know her granddaughters as they try to get to know her. Mare, Octavia, and Tali are by no means perfect, but they are very real characters.
