In a journal covering the first few months of 1968, Boston teenager Molly describes her family's concern for her brother, a Marine serving in Vietnam (whose experiences are recorded in The Journal of Patrick Seamus Flaherty), as well as her own volunteer work at a local veterans' hospital. Molly's clear-eyed narrative convincingly captures teenage life during this difficult era; a historical note supplies additional information.
