Sunrise Where My Heart Is

During the final year of World War II, Deborah Little’s father was stationed in Hollandia, New Guinea and Manila, Philippines Island. A series of essays, reflections, and letters her parents wrote to each other from November 1944 to December 1945, these writings are personal, yet have universal appeal as we mourn the passing of the Greatest Generation. People of all ages can appreciate the true stories, and may be motivated to seek out their own family stories of World War II and other times past. Funny and sentimental, Deborah’s essays and stories recall her parents’ meeting, sibling relationships, devotion to children, the entertainment of the era, and coming home. Also included are reflections from Deborah and her sisters after reading the letters, and a special bonus section on the language and slang of World War II.
