Description

Sisterly Relations Activity Book Read Hosted by National Coalition of 100 Black Women, Inc. Prince George's County Chapter, Membership Event Planning Committee "Sisters in Arms: A Novel of the Daring Black Women Who Served During World War II" BY Kaia Alderson.

Portrait of the untold, true story of the Six Triple Eight, the only all-Black battalion of the Women’s Army Corps, who made the dangerous voyage to Europe to ensure American servicemen received word from their loved ones during World War II. “Sisters in Arms is heartwarming but fierce, a novel brimming with camaraderie and fire, starring women you’d love to make your friends. Prickly, musical Grace and bubbly, privileged Eliza may not make the most natural allies, but it’s fight or die when they’re thrown together in the Army’s first class of female officers—and the first Black women allowed to serve their country in World War II.  Kaia Alderson’s debut is a triumph!”— Kate Quinn, New York Times bestselling author of The Rose Code
