I used to absolutely love reading the Dear America series growing up. I was reminded of them the other day because I saw there are a few other series similar to the Dear America stories. So I decided to read some that I never got to read. This one was about 16 year old Molly and her life after her older brother became a marine during the Vietnam War.

RedxoHearts It was an interesting sneak peek of what life was like for the average teen during those years. It reminds you that even though things may change so much of it stays the same. The author also wrote a book from the perspective of the brother during the same period. So I plan to read that one soon as well. 3w

Reviewsbylola I‘ve been collecting these for my daughters. I loved them as a kid!! 8y
theresidentromantic @rubyslippersreads @Reviewsbylola I could only get them out of the library as a kid! These are my first three as an adult, but I'm sure they won't be my last. I'm already enjoying the first almost as much as I did as a kid ❤ 8y
theresidentromantic @Reviewsbylola That one's on the fringes of my memories. I'll move it higher on the list! 8y
