The Poignant Years

Arts & Literature

“The Poignant Years is a warm account of growing up during and after WWII . . . of a time when family, perseverance, and a reliance on friends, neighbors, and most importantly, God, enabled people to get past the financial hardship and wartime sacrifices. But the quiet honoring of the often unspoken heroes of WWII--the grandparents, parents, sons, and daughters who seldom knew where their loved ones were--is especially touching for an old warrior like me.”
