About This Book

A young woman named Nathalie answers wartime appeals by organizing an inclusive club of neighborhood girls who create liberty gardens, stage pageants, knit comforts, and carry out volunteer projects to aid soldiers and support their community. The narrative follows their preparations, visits to training camps, and encounters with local boys and elders, while small mysteries and reconciliations unfold; through leadership and everyday service the members learn sacrifice, civic responsibility, and strengthened social bonds.
