‘War Bonds’ gets San Francisco love

Cindy Hval posts: "Woke up this morning to find this lovely review from the San Francisco Book Review!"

"World War II brought a lot of pain into the world, but, in the face of tragedy, long-lasting bonds of camaraderie, affection, and love were formed between men and women of the “greatest generation.” For example, Fenton Roskelley and Violet Shipman met in England in 1944, simply because she’d picked her name out of a hat and so was transferred to Cornwall. This tiny slip of paper changed the rest of their lives. Warren and Betty Schott met through mutual friends after she moved to Los Angeles. They survived the attack on Pearl Harbor and lengthy work-related separations during their marriage, but they have remained best friends for more than 75 years." More here.

Question: Have you read Cindy's "War Bonds: Love Stories from the Greatest Generation"?
