After years of being apart, cousins Carolyn and Patty are eager to catch up with each other at a relatives wedding. They bring the letters they exchanged during World War IIwhen they were childrenas a way to reminisce.

As the women read through the letters, they are transported back to the American home front. When they begin writing letters, Carolyn has just moved from Nebraska to Oregon, and the two girls desperately miss each other. But their communication is soon overshadowed by the events of December 7, 1941, when Pearl Harbor is bombed.

The tone of the letters changes as the girls grow preoccupied with the war. Patty tells Carolyn about how their Japanese American friends move to Canada to avoid being put into camps, while Carolyn expresses her relief that her father cannot enlist in the navy due to a blind eye.

Whether they write about gas rationing and blackout regulations or saving money to buy war stamps, Carolyn and Patty reveal the wars impact on their lives. But as the two discuss the contents of the letters at their reunion, they realize just how much the war years shaped who they are as adults.

Artfully switching between the past and the present, Letters from the Home Front is a charming novel of America during World War II.
