American girls collection. Molly, 1944

During World War II, nine-year-old Molly goes to school and with her friends tries to aid the war effort. Molly is a lively, lovable schemer and dreamer growing up in 1944. Her stories describe her life on the home front during World War Two. Molly doesn't like many of the changes the war has brought, and she especially misses her father, who is away caring for wounded soldiers. But Molly learns the importance of getting along and pulling together...

When an English girl comes to stay at Molly's during World War II, she and Molly learn to bridge their differences and ultimately enjoy a wonderful, mutual birthday party.

Molly's excitement at performing in a big show is exceeded only by the announcement that her father is returning home from the war.
