Stars in the Window: A True Story of Homelife During WWII - The War on the Home Front

"Stars in the Window," by Jean Bradford Kline is a historical adventure of one family''s experiences on the WWII Home Front during the seemingly unstoppable attack on America's freedom by the German and Japanese war machines. It is a true account of what it was like to live in a small town and farm in the midwest, filled with humor, colorful events, hard work, and old-fashioned patriotism. Behind every service person was an anxious family who gave unwavering support to loved ones and their President. As men volunteered or were drafted, their wives, mothers and girlfriends rushed to fill their vacated jobs and many new ones. They tightened their belts, donned bandannas and jeans and became experts in all lines of endeavor. This important saga of the War on the Home Front has not been explored or documented in eye-opening detail in any other book. It is masterfully written through the eyes of a young girl who saw four of her brothers go off to war.
