The War I Finally Won by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley

A New York Times bestseller

Like the classic heroines of Sarah, Plain and Tall, Little Women, and Anne of Green Gables, Ada is a fighter for the agesHer triumphant World War I journey continues in this sequel to the Newbery Honor-winning The War that Saved My Life

When Ada's clubfoot is finally surgically repaired, she understands she's not the damaged, disturbed, emotionally and physically disabled woman her mother claimed she was. She's also no longer a daughter.

Ada and her brother, Jamie, move into a cottage with their guardian, Susan, and the iron-faced Baroness Thorton and her daughter, Maggie, while World War I rages on. Life in the packed family is tenseThen Ruth, a Jewish girl from Germany, moves in. Is Ruth a snitch?

When the effects of conflict worsen, disaster approaches, and living during warfare becomes even more complicatedWho will Ada choose to be? How will she be able to keep fighting? And for whom will she fight to save?

Ada's first story, The War that Saved My Life, was a #1 New York Times bestseller and won a Newbery Honor, the Schneider Family Book Award, and the Josette Frank Award, in addition to appearing on multiple best-of-the-year listsThis second masterwork of historical fiction continues Ada's journey of family, faith, and identity, showing us that real freedom is not just the ability to choose, but the courage to make the right choice
