How many little souls are there?

There are quite a few little souls who became orphans once their parents were killed in the war or perished with the Spanish Flu.

We meet Dorothy, now an orphan, Helen a nurse, and Lutie a fashion designer living together as a family in Denver during WWI and the pandemic of 1918.

Helen and Lutie moved to Denver after the death of their parents, and they made Dorothy their sister.

All three characters were well developed and lovable.

Of course there are some unsavory characters to deal with, but the book is one historical fiction fans and women’s fiction fans will enjoy.

Some uncomfortable situations are also addressed, but the story line will draw you in and deals with the struggles of women and how folks lived through the 1918 pandemic and the war.

Along with the Spanish Flu problems, a murder and kidnapping occur.

Despite the situations of the characters, the story line is also very well written and appropriate for this time with our current pandemic.

Enjoy when you read this book. 4/5

This book was given to me by the publisher via NetGalley for an honest review.

I feel like Im reading a story written by some of my former 3rd/4th graders.
Decent storyline with unnecessary details added in to fit the genre they are supposed to be writing about “Oh, Miss Al. We are supposed to write historical fiction? I wanted to write a murder mystery. I’m going to the library to look up a bunch of facts about Denver and add them in.”
