I loved chemistry, too, and I majored in chemistry in college. I loved to read-I was the sort of kid who would skip recess to go talk with my school librarian-but I didn’t know any writers, and I didn’t think it was the sort of job I could have. I was born in Fort Wayne, Indiana, in 1967.
Highly recommended for middle-grade and up. It’s a story that will warm your heart and stay with you long after you’ve finished it. She moves from an impoverished, crippled life to one of selfless love and giving. (Could she be a spy?) Ada moves from an emotional wreck, unstable, and unsure to a confident, courageous young lady. The war brings together a group of people (and animals) including a Jewish girl from Germany. In an unexpected turn of events provided by the war, she is given surgery to correct her foot and feels almost normal for the first time.īased in England we learn factual information about how British lives were impacted during these years.
Her self-esteem is low due to her suffering through her young life with a club foot and a mother who seemingly doesn’t care. Through Ada’s point of view, the reader is drawn in and cares deeply about Ada. I enjoyed the mantra posed at the beginning - and again at the end: You can know all the things you like, and someday you might believe them. It follows after the first novel: The War That Saved My Life. Masterfully written, this WWII historical fiction work completes young Ada’s search for family, faith, and identity.
