Midgrade historical
out now!
Winnie might be scared of the cemetery she lives by, she might be sad that her best friend has left her for someone else, she might wonder why here mama isn't happy like other mamas, but she loves the small town of Coward Creek, Texas where she lives. It's 1918, and the war in Europe is going on, far away. But then comes another war, closer to home: a war called influenza.
Sometimes you can be the hero who saves the world. Sometimes the things around you are too big to change, and the only thing left is to change yourself.
With lovely writing and a strong, likable heroine, Winnie's War is about making yourself strong when everything around you is breaking.
Recommended for everyone, but especially for those who love historical fiction and stories of inner courage.
