Oh I didn't realize Xe narrated The Atomic City Girls will have to pick that one up on audio, love her voice!
Miss Susie,I am always pleasantly surprised to find a familiar voice reading books I enjoy. Atomic City Girls is one of those books that Xe brings to life.
By the way, if you get to hear Janet Beard speak about Atomic City Girls, you’ll be amazed at the works they did to help with the arms race.
Miriam wrote: "Miss Susie,I am always pleasantly surprised to find a familiar voice reading books I enjoy. Atomic City Girls is one of those books that Xe brings to life.

Thanks I will have to seek that out!
The Atomic City Girls is a romance book which uses the background of Oakridge as the setting. If you want to know what was really happening there, listen to The Girls of Atomic City: The Untold Story of the Women Who Helped Win World War II, a nonfiction book based on interviews with the women who actually worked there. It irritates me that Baird stole the title of the nonfiction book just to confuse people.
Thanks for the reading and listening suggestions. It's always good to have a few titles on the same topic to learn something new about an important subject.
