About this ebook
By the time Loretto discovered the cache of WWII letters, her father had been dead almost 50 years. She’d accepted she would never know him. That changed when she decided to type his 500+ letters for her siblings. With each letter she heard her father’s voice. With each place she visited, each person she met, the 50 years without him

After co-authoring and self-publishing Thompson's Eldercare Source Book in 1997, a reference guide for adult children caring for their aging parents, she knew she was meant to write.
