A Love Like Lilly

Kay Lynn Mangum

Publisher: Deseret Book Company

Jamie - usually called James - is a tomboy. She hates dresses, loves basketball, and is nothing like her older sister. After James' grandma dies, she comes to live with her grandfather for the summer. While working on cleaning out her grandma's things, she comes across an old photo album from the 1930s. Her grandfather proceeds to tell her stories behind the pictures, while he was in the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) and about how he met her grandmother.

This book tells stories from two different families and two different time periods. The CCC stories are based off the author's grandfather's journal.
