Books like Josephine and the soldier by Beverly Jenkins


Jojo Best, a young hairdresser who has already attended college and runs her own shop, is determined to keep her life free of romance. Still, the attentive saloon boy George Brooks begins to court her, and Jojo reluctantly opens herself to his attentions. Meanwhile, Adam Morgan—known for his flirtatious ways—returns from the war wounded and finds his heart unexpectedly drawn to Jojo, whom he once teased only as “Pest.” As the conflict rages on, Adam’s growing affection clashes with his reputation, and Jojo must decide whether to resist the pull of a soldier’s love or let her own desires guide her path. The novel explores the tensions and bonds that arise during wartime America, especially for a young woman defying conventions.
