No Star in the Window - By Ledema Renfrow. Good condition, only negative mark is a name on the front cover.


This story contains three intertwined historical elements- the Nash family, the city of Pueblo, and WWII. Three Nash children are sealed in a room with scarlet fever when the last baby is born. Eight year old Lerna must do mama’s work after the birth. Sharon and Lerna are in the same classroom and fight a war of their own. Daddy is a railroad fireman, with a 3-B draft rating, hence No Star in the Window. Pueblo’s military connections include Pueblo Ordinance Depot, the steel mill, and a railroad hub. Bombing crews train for combat at the new Pueblo Army Airbase.
