It is amazing that I lived next store to your mother all those years and never really new this entire story.
What is even more amazing is how I remember her looking exactly like these pictures. Even now I can see the strong resemblance.
Your mothers features are practically still the same, all these years later!
Where can I buy this book? Its such a compelling and interesting story I can’t wait to read it.
What a wonderful story, so beautiful told and illustrated by Mollie and Cyndee. It is quite moving to hear Mollie’s clear voice of what life was like while she was a WAC in WWII. Cyndee’s insertions between Mollie’s letters explaining what was going on in the war, etc. add to your appreciation of what Mollie is saying, despite knowing that their mail was censored for security reasons during war time. It’s a delight to peak into the lives and thoughts of these vibrant and brave women.
Loved the story
