The 1940s: Secrets

(4) 4-6 Century Kids series. As the multigenerational family saga continues, the focus shifts to Gabriella, supervising a crusade to send mail to GIs overseas; Esther, whose parents are secretly working on the atomic bomb; and Japanese-American Ben Tamura, now living at the family's homestead in Maine. The story line is diffuse and several of the subplots peter out, but the historical content (aided by photographic reproductions) remains intriguing.
