Serbia During World War 1

Meet Lina! Lina is a 6 year old girl living in Serbia with her mother, grandmother and two older brothers. Her father was a part of the Black Hand, the movement that assassinated Franz Ferdinand, but was killed a month before the event actually took place. In my project, Lina will write a series of letters to her father telling him what's going on in their every day family life. Her oldest brother has gone off to war and her whole famliy is scrambling to try and help the war effort. Lina's mother, Annalise, volunteers for a Women's Hospital and spends most of her time away from home. Because of this, Lina is left with a lot of time alone to miss her father and worry about her brother's involvement in the Serbian army. Her other brother is desperate to prove himself and proceeds to get involved with some less than honorable friends, which adds to her concern. This is the story of a young girl trying to deal with the many traumas inflicted by war.
