| Summary | "Georgina's Service Stars" by Annie Fellows Johnston is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Georgina Huntingdon, a 16-year-old girl who begins to document her life while navigating the challenges of adolescence and the impact of World War I on her community. The narrative captures her aspirations for a career in writing or journalism, her relationships with family and friends, and her awakening to the realities of war and sacrifice. The opening of the book introduces Georgina as she contemplates starting her memoirs from a garret window, drawing inspiration from the bustling life around her and her family's history. She reflects on her upbringing in a picturesque Cape Cod town, her close relationship with her mother Barby, and her cousin Richard, who is eager to enlist in the war effort. As she begins to write, Georgina expresses her dreams of becoming a famous author and grapples with her desire for independence against the expectations of those around her. She sets the stage for a coming-of-age journey intertwined with the themes of heroism, sacrifice, and the hopes and disappointments of youth amidst a backdrop of global conflict.
