The contributors were children and teenagers during World War II. Though they were far from the fighting and, indeed, too young to participate, they were old enough to remember their impressions and feelings. As they grew up in a tumultuous era, some seemed miraculously untouched while others were profoundly affected. All experienced changes in their lives that shaped the adults they became. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor anyone who did not experience it, this book provides fascinating insight and a tangible link to a formative period in our history. For those who were young themselves at the time, the collection will stir memories and stories long-forgotten. It is our hope that those memories will be shared by people of all ages, and preserved for generations to come. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContributors include: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003eRoch Carrier, \u003cbr\u003e Christopher Chapman, \u003cbr\u003e Brian Doyle, \u003cbr\u003e Priscilla Galloway, \u003cbr\u003e Dorothy Joan Harris, \u003cbr\u003e Monica Hughes, \u003cbr\u003e Joy Kogawa with Timothy Nakayama, \u003cbr\u003e Jean Little, \u003cbr\u003e Janet Lunn, \u003cbr\u003e Claire Mackay, and\u003cbr\u003e Budge Wilson. \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fitzhenry \u0026 Whiteside, Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47010863710448,"sku":"9780773731905","price":15.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780773731905_p0.jpg?v=1763667728","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780773731905","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
