Описание: The day the second atomic bomb was dropped, Clabe and Leora Wilsons postman brought a telegram to their acreage near Perry, Iowa. One son was already in the U.S. Navy before Pearl Harbor had been attacked. Four more sons worked with their father, tenant farmers near Minburn until, one by one, all five sons were serving their country in the military. The oldest son re-enlisted in the Navy. The younger three became U.S. Army Air Force pilots. As the family optimist, Leora wrote hundreds of letters, among all her regular chores, dispensing news and keeping up the morale of the whole family, which included the brothers two sisters. Her fondest wishes were to have a home of her own and family nearby. Leoras Letters is the compelling true account of a woman whose most tender hopes were disrupted by great losses. Yet she lived out four more decades with hope and resilience.

Joy lets us see her grandmothers personal family correspondence through letters. It is heart-tugging. Be ready to be moved by this true story. --Van Harden, WHO-Radio Personality
