THE AMERICAN GIRLS Collections

MOLLY, 1944

In 1944, during World War II, Molly McIntire and her family try to keep everything running smoothly at home while Molly's father is away in England, helping to care for wounded soldiers. It's not that easy to do with two pesky brothers (Ricky and Brad) and an older sister who is always acting like a grown up. But Molly makes the best of things --- even if it means eating yucky vegetables from the family's backyard Victory Garden.
