Another Realistic YA by Oughton

Told in a vivid Southern first person, "The War in Georgia" takes place during the summer of 1945, and its poignant, uneasy battles and victories are mirrored by World War II. A frequent theme of Oughton's is `what constitutes a family?'. Shanta Cola's homelife depicts a nontraditional but enviably solid family. Oughton's compassionate novels lovingly co-mingle hopes and hurts, and are a pleasure - if a bittersweet one - for adults as well as adolescents to read
