Nine-year-old Piper Louise Conrad is sure that the summer of 1943 will be the worst summer of her life. The world is at war, her father is fighting in North Africa, and Piper must spend three whole months at her great-grandmother's farm in Catlett, Virginia. Grandma Jessie doesn't seem at all like the sweet old lady Piper's mother described. She's bossy and cranky. She doesn't even seem to like Piper. But Piper is about to discover that she and her great-grandmother have more in common than she thinks. In fact, Grandma Jessie holds the key to a family history Piper never knew she had. Maybe, just maybe, this summer might not be so bad after all... Looking Through Great-Grandmother's Eyes is the third installment in the Harding family trilogy, a series inspired by the author's family history.
