Plus, her sweetheart Nolan is always there to make her smile when she’s feeling low. But when the Spanish Influenza claims its first victim, lives are suddenly at stake, and Winnie has never felt so helpless. She must find a way to save the people she loves most, even if doing so means putting her own life at risk. <P></P>Winnie’s take-charge attitude will empower and inspire readers, as Jenny Moss’s lyrical writing beautifully captures the big-time worries of a small-town girl. 4901255 3 2 2009 Winnie's War total:38|5:10|4:13|3:11|2:3|1:1| 38 142 155 18 5 1 false false Mon Oct 27 17:14:47 -0700 2008 Wed Apr 15 05:34:08 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Mon Feb 09 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 09 12:20:58 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 09 12:23:30 -0800 2009 more...]]> 2 1 false false Sat Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Aug 14 11:42:35 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 16 12:20:54 -0700 2009 Life in Winnie’s small town outside of Galveston, Texas is predictable in 1918—until the residents start feeling the effects of the influenza pandemic that is sweeping the country.
