I have an old patch from the 1960s that say war is not healthy for children and other living things and that was my inspiration. All the books I write about are studies in the resilient, heroic nature of kids, not matter how far fetched the plot.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15988251415347075888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3966330143385469554.post-72199259307074152182010-12-06T10:24:15.262-05:002010-12-06T10:24:15.262-05:00Thank you Alex for your thorough and lovely review...Thank you Alex for your thorough and lovely review.

It is really interesting and the perfect choice for a historical reading challenge. <br /><br />Deborah, I think you will find the book very interesting, especially since you have such a personal connection to Hickory. There is a sequel, Comfort, you might also find interesting.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15988251415347075888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3966330143385469554.post-43713913921735649182010-12-06T01:59:22.947-05:002010-12-06T01:59:22.947-05:00Thanks soooo much for reviewing this book!!!

My mother was a victim of polio as a child in the 1940's epidemic! This book was totally unknown to me and to her, so we are so anxious to get a copy of it.<br />Thanks for your wonderful review and for talking about it on our Book Blog network.<br /><br />Deb/BookishDame<br />http://abookishlibraria.blogspot.comDebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10318926277089882125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3966330143385469554.post-425279246198419982010-12-05T23:59:18.738-05:002010-12-05T23:59:18.738-05:00I might put this on my historical reading list for...I might put this on my historical reading list for a challenge I am attempting.
