Deer Godchild

Deer Godchild

by Marguerite Bernard

The book tells the true story of James P. Jackson Jr., a young New Yorker who, inspired by an appeal for the Fatherless Children of France, decided to support a "kid in France" by earning and sending ten cents worth of extra food each day. The book is based on the letters that James and his "deer godchild," Andrée Leblanc, exchanged during the war. Through their letters, readers learn about the challenges and hardships that both James and Andrée faced during the war, as well as the hope and friendship that they found in each other.
