Joan Wehlen Morrison

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.… (meer)
