Just staying vertical is a primary goal she hopes for to secure a good part in this year’s production of The Nutcracker her school is presenting. Other technical feats will also test her determination in a year when four lucky dancers will be chosen from the show for a New York scholarship. But these are just the beginning of trials she will face: what roles she receives, will she be a contender for the prize, will her reluctant father agree to New York if she gets it, how does she navigate a sudden alliance with the school’s nemesis and what that means for her friends who don’t understand, and lastly, how to talk to her school crush.

Peabody Discovers In The Nutcracker.

In 1998, Andrew Carroll founded the Legacy Project with the goal of remembering Americans who have served this nation and preserving their letters for posterity. Since then, more than 50,000 war letters discovered in basements, attics, scrapbooks, and old trunks have poured in from around the country. The best of these letters are assembled in this extraordinary collection, offering unprecedented insight into the Civil War, World Wars I and II, Vietnam, Korea, the Cold War, the Persian Gulf, and even the fighting in Somalia and the Balkans. Featured here are dramatic accounts of combat written immediately after the most ferocious battles American troops have ever faced; poignant expressions of love by homesick husbands and sweethearts; humorous anecdotes and gripes about insufferable conditions; thoughtful reflections on the nature of warfare; and perhaps most devastating, a startling number of last letters, heartfelt messages penned just hours before the sender was killed.

War Letters is a lasting tribute to those who have fought for this country, and celebrates the enduring power and lyricism of personal letters.
