Kind of Courage, A

The story takes place from 1910 to 1918 and is set in the Canadian Prairie and is told in two voices. The first belongs to Hattie, a farm girl, and the second belongs to David, a city boy from a well to do family. While this is really a story of how war shapes lives, the focus on revealing the heart and mind of a conscientious objector adds a new dimension to the stories of war so many readers and historians know. This book helps to round out the study of war by presenting a new perspective.
