The War I Finally Won

The War I Finally Won by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley

In this second book in the series, the girl has her club foot fixed. They also learn that their mother has died. They didn't like her, but feel said that she is gone. Other people are willing to take care of them. They end up with a well-to-do lady. A German Jew comes to live with them. They struggle with getting along with her. Is she a Spy? How can she get away with not believing in Jesus? World War II continues on and there are struggles with using rations and trying to enjoy things like Lamb. They see destroyed neighborhoods and hear about some of the bad things being done by the Germans. The afterward talks about code breakers, though this seems to be a tangential relationship. The discussions of Jews and religion seem to have a very modern tone to them, but does provide some insight into the issues with Jewish refugees.
