Letters from the Front: The Story of the 6888 by Dr. Elizabeth Carter is a powerful work of historical fiction inspired by the true story of the only all-Black, all-female U.S. Army battalion to serve overseas during World War II.
When America went to war, these women went to work-sorting through mountains of undelivered mail meant for soldiers who had long since given up hope. Facing racism, sexism, and the daily peril of war, Major Charity Adams and her battalion of six hundred women kept their mission alive under the banner: "No Mail, Low Morale."
From the segregated streets of Chicago to the bombed-out warehouses of Birmingham and Rouen, Letters from the Front tells the untold story of courage, unity, and purpose in the face of invisibility. Through the eyes of women who refused to be forgotten, it reminds us that some battles are fought not with bullets-but with faith, dignity, and the power of words.
