Ada Ruth's mama must go away to  Chicago to work, leaving Ada Ruth and Grandma behind. It's  war time, and women are needed to fill the men's jobs. As  winter sets in, Ada Ruth and her grandma keep up their  daily routine, missing Mama all the time. They find  strength in each other, and a stray kitten even arrives one  day to keep them company, but nothing can fill the hole  Mama left. Every day they wait, watching for the letter  that says Mama will be coming on home soon. Set during  World War II, Coming On Home Soon has a timeless quality  that will appeal to all who wait and hope.},
