Holly Jean and the Box in Granny's Attic — Bonnie Compton Hanson

In Book 2 of the Holly Jean series, Holly Jean has settled down to small-town life in Kentucky with her Granny Nanny and great-aunt Kate, while her dad is away fighting in WWII. Life on the farm is never dull, and the scorching summer of 1942 is no exception! Hard work, new pets, fun times and friends keep Holly Jean busy from daylight to dark. Add to that the welcome home party for Ben Dunn, Aunt Kate's engagement to the local pastor, and a good old-fashioned camp meeting. Holly Jean enjoys using her musical talents for God with her friends. When she jumps to conclusions in her red-haired, snippety way, she also learns that God doesn't want us to be too quick to judge others. In the midst of all the summertime hustle-bustle, Holly Jean discovers a box in Granny's attic that holds mysterious items from her dad's past. Everyone is so excited and busy all the time, will Holly Jean ever find out who the girl was that her dad seemed to like so well?
