When Christmas Comes Again by Beth Seidel Levine
This book, Dear America: When Christmas Comes Again, is by Beth Seidel Levine. This story is about a young girl who crosses the ocean during WW1 and keeps a diary of her life as a brave “Hello Girl” on the Western Front. This is a sneek peek of this great, interesting book…December 25, 1917Christmas! It was a very special day. Father and Maman gave me the gift of my Army uniform . . . I tried it on immediately and modeled it for everyone. As I made my final turn, I stopped suddenly when I saw Sally standing in the doorway of the parlor with tears in her eyes. She was holding a tray of brandies and it started to rattle. Maman hurried over to her and took the tray. Sally sat with us and the room got quiet. “First William, and now Simone.” The air was so heavy that I thought I might cry, too. But Maman didn’t miss a step. She passed around the brandies and raised her glass. “When Christmas comes again, we shall all be together . . . and the world will be a safer place.”On a scale of 1 (worst) to 10 (best) I give this book a rating of: 9
