"It's a story that left me covered with goosebumps time and again and eventually moved me to tears..." --J.A. Jance, NY Times Bestselling Author
My memoir is the true story of the secrets my father swore to keep during WWII and what happened when he finally began to talk about them. He kept his secrets locked away for more than 50-years. But secrets have a way of taking a toll on their keeper. That's what happened to my father. Shortly after 9/11/2001, he began having terrible nightmares and vivid flashbacks. He was in his 80's and I simply wanted to help him. So we set out on an unintended journey.
Over the course of several years, I learned that what I thought I knew about my father's service to his country was only an abbreviation. Over time, the true and real story was told to the most unlikely of people - me.
Not that long ago, a veteran sent me a message. In essence it said this, "I have a story too. But nobody wants to know it. Nobody has asked me to tell it." There is power and healing in story. So please, ask your loved one to share theirs today! ~Karen
