Home Front Girl by Joan Wehlen Morrison is the diaries of the author from her childhood through early adulthood. She was a teenager through WWII and the diaries reflect this.They cover the usual things: homework, school events, and teenage angsty things. There are also her thoughts on the war, popular culture of the time, and various names in the news.

It's an interesting read for anyone who wants a glimpse of what home front life was like.

This is the edited diary of Joan Wehlen Morrison who lived in Chicago in the 1930's and 1940's. Her daughter found her diary after her death and has edited it for publication. Although the title implies that this will be a story of her life on the home front during World War II.the bulk of the diary covers the 1930's. The entries covering the war years are actually very brief.

This is not casting aspersions on the writing, which is very good and very insightful. Joan was an exceptionally bright young woman and her observations on world events and the society she lived in are insightful and mature.

I csme away from the book wishing I had known her.
