  Home Front Girls by Suzanne Hayes This is a fun book, a collection of letters between pen pals set during WWII.  They have never met, but become very close friends as their lives are impacted by the war. Glory is a young wife with small children from New England whose husband is in the service. Rita is from Iowa.  She is a mature woman with her husband and son off to war.   This gives a wonderful look at what life was like for families during the war.  (I particularly loved how Glory is surprised when her husband returns and wants peanut butter on bread with some jelly....she'd never heard of that combination before)
