Happy Birthday, Ella Leffland! Another year wiser and still crafting stories that charm readers faster than we can say "Rumors of Peace." Your timeless tales have given us laughter, tears, and a nostalgic longing for simpler times—even if those simpler times involved navigating adolescence during World War II. Only you could make wartime coming-of-age feel oddly comforting!From the unforgettable Mrs. Munck to Love Out of Season, your characters continue to resonate deeply with readers everywhere. May this birthday bring as much joy as you've brought through your novels—and may your cake be sweeter than literary acclaim!
