About This Book

Set in a typical small American town caught between change and tradition, the story follows a young man raised by two protective aunts as local patriotism and talk of recruitment sweep the community. Public displays of courage and pride contrast with his private nausea, self-doubt, and anxious imaginings about battle. Neighborhood gossip, officious veterans, and domestic rituals frame his growing conflict between performative manliness and inward fear. The narrative observes how social expectation, nostalgia, and communal drama shape individual identity as the town confronts the larger upheaval of war.

GEORGINA'S
SERVICE STARS

By Annie Fellows Johnston

TO BE PUBLISHED SEPTEMBER 1st

In it will be found a new story of beloved Georgina whose Rainbow adventures led into her tenth year. Now she is older—sweet sixteen, if you please—and Richard, her playmate of childhood days, is a grown man of seventeen—and as devoted as ever. Of course he got into the great war enough to give Georgina a second star to her service flag; her father, being a famous surgeon, his star is rightfully at the top. But watch out for Richard!
