Children of the 1940s were to be seen and not heard. Until now. Here are their stories. Hear their voices.
Although the characters and narratives of this short story collection are fictional, the stories' events and circumstances of the 1940s are real.
These stories are of war, internment, disease, loss, bullying, prejudice, faith, love, resiliency, overcoming, and normalcy amid the abnormality of childhood during this decade. The narratives, told through the eyes of children living in the United States, Poland, German and France, culminate in a multicultural anthology.
Nicolette discovers evidence of a British soldier living in her French mansion's attic.
Junior writes letters to his dad stationed at Pearl Harbor.
Casimir hides from Nazis in a Polish cave with his family for many months.
Addie falls in love with a German POW working on her father's farm.
Nora contracts polio and fights for freedom to soar above the pain and confinement.
. . . And many more stories . . .
