false 6085712 1 Virginias War is the poignant novel of a small Texas town where, during WWII in 1944, there was a bit of tarnish on the patriotic bunting and not everyone was eager to join up for the fight. It was there one morning that unexpectedly-pregnant Virginia Sullivan read in her fathers newspaper that she supposedly had eloped with a soldier who had already gone off to the war, an awkward thing, since he didn't know anything about it. This first book of the French Letters trilogy is the tale of one womans home front folded into the story of a town that is happy for its war bride because of her familys generous dabbling in the black market of war rations until the government pokes into their affairs. 6262569 1 2 2009 French Letters Book One: Virginia's War total:7|5:3|4:4| 7 31 10 6 6085712 0981597505 9780981597508 7 6 4.43 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6085712.French_Letters_Book_One_Virginia_s_War 4 1 false Sun Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 10 11:30:29 -0800 2009 Sat Feb 07 10:52:19 -0800 2009 more...]]> 6085712 0981597505 9780981597508 7 6 4.43 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6085712.French_Letters_Book_One_Virginia_s_War 4 0 false Sat Feb 21 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sat May 23 11:50:30 -0700 2009 Sun May 24 08:53:42 -0700 2009 more...]]> 6085712 0981597505 9780981597508 7 6 4.43 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6085712.French_Letters_Book_One_Virginia_s_War 4 0 false Sat Mar 14 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Mar 13 17:58:24 -0700 2009 Fri Mar 20 08:16:50 -0700 2009
