The Author
A student of Wallace Stegner at Stanford, and a feature writer for the San Francisco Chronicle, Gentry, West Magazine (San Jose Mercury News) and fashionlines.com, Ann Seymour draws on her family history, letters, diaries, memories, extensive research and past headlines for this narrative of an American family on the West Coast, against the events of World War 2.
The Reading Experience
This narrative draws its strength from the contrast between the selfless sacrifice of war with the rosy self-interest of youth. The contrast of two families in two different worlds also comes into play, in the form of Western society versus the Imperial East.
This is the story of a a hero who finds his fate on Valentine's Day 1945, written as a lifetime valentine by his daughter.
