Molly was a girl who lived in 1941 when World War 2 broke out.
Molly’s dad was serving in the army as a doctor.
She was a picky eater and especially hated turnips.
I like Molly because she was my age and was exciting.

Twenty two years ago, my now 30 year old daughter chose Molly as her doll because Molly was born the same year as my daughter’s grandmother (my mom) and because like Molly, my mom had little wire rim glasses, dark hair and a father in the army. Thank you for sharing about Molly!
Thanks for the comment. I found her in the library, and I listen to the audio book constantly.
