By the spring of 1942, so much has changed for Nanea Mitchell and her family. In the second book of her series, we find Nanea adapting to life under martial law, returning to school, and missing her dear friend Donna. When Nanea becomes aware that some dogs are getting involved directly in the war effort, she becomes concerned about her own beloved pet, the aptly named Mele. Never one to just panic, Nanea finds a way to add her dog to her hula performance. We talk about the current wave of nostalgia for the 1990s and nostalgic takes on World War II. We also consider Nanea’s sense of sacrifice and how these books speak to our most recent past (the late 2010s). Additional topics include pet therapy dogs, Justin Bieber, and the TV show Insecure.  Resources: You can find episodes, resources, and a link to our merch store and patreon on our website: dollsofourlivespod.com Support us on Patreon: patreon.com/dollsofourlivespod We love to hear from you!
