Molly Donnelly — Jean Thesman

On December 7, 1941, the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, and the world changed forever. It was the beginning of World War II and for Molly Donnelly, it was the end of childhood. Men went to war, women went to work in factories, and girls Molly's age took on the responsibilities of the household. It was a time of blackouts and food rationing, hardship and heartbreak. But for Molly, it was also a time of great discoveries...about first dates, first kisses, falling in love, and about all the wonderful possibilities that lay ahead when the war was over.
