    I read Grace In The Wilderness. The genre is historical fiction because it takes place a while after World War 2, and that is a real event (but the charactars are not real) It's about a girl named Piri who lost her mother in the war. She is adopted by a sweetish couple that is very kind to her, but she thinks that America would also be a place where she could live a life without much worry. Will she choose to stay with her new family, or try her luck in a new place? Read this book to find out.
