LETTERS FROM HOME (Literature & Fiction)
1 chapters
—
updated Nov 27, 2011 06:10pm
Description:
Inspired by my grandparents' courtship, LETTERS FROM HOME is a WWII love story featuring a Midwestern infantryman who falls deeply in love through a yearlong letter exchange, unaware that the girl he's writing to isn't the one replying. Woven around this tenuous thread are the stories of three female friends whose journeys toward independence take unexpected turns as a result of romance, tragedy, and deception, their repercussions heightened by an era of the unknown.
(Reading group guide and 1940s recipes included in the book!)

Description:
As the American daughter of a Japanese immigrant father and Caucasian mother, I'm excited to share a sneak peek of my forthcoming novel, BRIDGE OF SCARLET LEAVES. The story features a violinist named Maddie Kern, who secretly elopes with her Japanese American boyfriend -- the night before Pearl Harbor is bombed. Refusing to be separated from her husband, Maddie dares to voluntarily live in an internment camp. When her husband, Lane, enlists in a secret branch of the U.S. Army to prove his allegiance to America, every character will uncover the truth of those they label "the enemy," while learning where their deepest loyalties lie.
(Reading group guide and Asian-fusion recipes included in the book!)

I had heard of the Orphan Trains before, but this book gave great perspective into a chapter in our history that not too many people know about. Really well written, great character development, just wish it would have been longer!
