FOREVER IS NOT FOR EVERYONE

As a World War II historical biography and present-day memoir, “FOREVER IS NOT FOR EVERYONE” illuminates the story of one daughter’s search for the forgotten life of her deceased father, a war hero she never got a chance to know. 

Fatherless at the age of three and armed with a life-long desire to uncover the past, one telephone conversation with a total stranger propels her forward on a journey to the invasion beaches of Normandy, France, to a picturesque hill town in Belgium, and on to a fateful crossroad in a remote area just over the German border. Encountering all along the way heroes of the past and the present, she finds herself, as her father’s representative, addressing attendees at memorials honoring regiments of the 82nd Airborne who were billeted in the midlands of England during World War 11. 

This is a story of war and loss, self-renewal, undying love, and belief in a better future. It is a source of genuine inspiration to all those contemplating such a journey for themselves.
