Carolyn Harper
The Orphanage
Although the timeframe for this book is 1949-1950, it is rightfully WW2 fiction because it’s about survivors of the war. The characters—both adults and children—grow and mature as the book progresses in both heartwarming and devastating ways. The beginning of the book drags a bit, but the end of the book is wonderful. This is the first in a series of eight books about this particular children’s home.
