Summary: Amazing Book!
Comment: I touching and telling account of living in America during the Vietnam War. The author is a wonderful writer. I love her stories of the Vietnam era. Her chatacters dilemnas and attitudes ring completely true and honest. If you like this book you have to read the companion My Name is America: The Diary of Sean Patrick Flaherty -- which I loved even more then this one. Also, the author has some other Vietnam era books for teens that are out of print but worth looking for, including: The Road Home
and the Echo company series written under the name Zack Emerson.

Summary: Great!!
Comment: I love to read, but I am very picky. When I read books like this, I feel like it's going to be (a) too easy (b) too hard (c) too much action or (d) not enough feelings. Well, I needn't have had worried about this book!
The diary-writer's name is Molly Flaherty. She was 15 during the late 1960s. Her older brother, Patrick, had just volunteered to fight in the Vietnam war. Molly misses him a lot. And she just doesn't know what to think. Be a hippie and protest? But is that betraying Patrick? Her decision is to volunteer at a Vietnam Veteran Hospital. She is surprised to see that most of the veterans are not much older than Patrick. In this way, she draws out her fear of Patrick dying, as she misses him so much.
Great book.

Summary: Another great Diary
Comment: 15-year-old Boston native Mollie MacKenzie Flaherty is going through some tough times. The Vietnam War is raging overseas and not one day passes without Mollie thinking about her brother Patrick, who had voluteered to serve in the Marines. There is trouble at home too as the assasinations of Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. rock the country. Through the four months chronicaling Mollie's life we meet a girl who is trying to keep herself busy and trying everything to help with the war. She finds a job at the VA hospital working to help injured soliders who had just come back from Vietnam. She finds sad but also inspiring stories there. However when the family is rocked with the news that Patrick was injured in the war everyone is nervous and waiting for news. Another pretty good Dear America book. It wasn't exactly the best, lacking something, I'm not sure what. Anyway I recommend everyone to read this book and its companion, the story of Patrick, "The Journal of Patrick Seamus Flaherty: U.S. Marine Corps"
