OLDER FICTION
Wilson, John

And in the Morning

(4) YA Writing in his diary, teenager Jim Hay records his experiences during World War I. The story begins with Jim as a fifteen-year-old who recently losts his father in the war and his brokenhearted mother shortly after. By the end, he's a young married soldier facing the harsh realities of war. Although the book seems a bit heavy-handed at times, this is a well-written novel revealing the soldiers behind the guns.
