Sunshine in an Otherwise Gloomy World: A Collection of Love Letters from World War II

Believing that the best stories are true stories and that they are best told by an actual participant, the author has compiled a World War II love story, based on letters written by her father to her mother during the nineteen months he was in the Army from 1943-1945. They represent the story of many soldiers who, away from home and those they loved, found that such letters provided stability in an otherwise tense, uncertain, and often uncaring world. Honestly presented, with brief historical and narrative commentaries, the book attests to the strength of a marriage that is based on an ultimate faith in each other and in God.
