Award-winning journalist Elyse Singleton delivers what Essence calls “a gem - the perfect book to curl up with.”
Best friends Lilian and Myraleen, two African American women from rural Mississippi, travel to Europe during World War II to act as members of the Women’s Army Corps. During this time of segregation and destruction, both women discover love and heartbreak, triumph and defeat.

DOLL HOUSEWhat do you think the narrator could have done better?
The narrators could have had a more 1930s southern accnt. I had to keep reminding myself the story took place back in the 30s .Could you see This Side of the Sky being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
I could. Unknown actors would be good.Any additional comments?
The chapters speaking from Kellners point of view could have been left out. UnnecessaryI THINK I LIKED IT
