ALICE BLISS, by Laura Harrington

Alice Bliss is the novel for our generation. Like Tom Sawyer, Little Women, Anne of Green Gables, Ann Frank: The Diary of A Young Girl, are classics from past centuries, Alice Bliss is destined to be a classic of the twenty-first century.

From Goodreads: Alice Bliss is a profoundly moving coming-of-age novel about love and its many variations–the support of a small town looking after its own; love between an absent father and his daughter; the complicated love between an adolescent girl and her mother; and an exploration of new love with the boy-next-door. These characters’ struggles amidst uncertain times echo our own, lending the novel an immediacy and poignancy that is both relevant and real. At once universal and very personal, Alice Bliss is a transforming story about those who are left at home during wartime, and a teenage girl bravely facing the future.
