Looking for something patriotic to read this Memorial Day? Kick off your summer reading with Miss Morgan’s Book Brigade by Janet Skeslien Charles. Set during WW1 in France, Miss Morgan’s tells the story of a group of women, most of them volunteers, who helped the citizens of France while the country was at war. In particular, the novel tells the story of real-life Jessie “Kit” Carson who promoted reading, created bookmobiles, and made connections with many women, children, and elderly French citizens. This is an historical fiction novel about people who are not included in most history books, and it sheds light on what women were doing to help each other and to survive during The Great War. Happy Reading!
