ⓘ About James D. Shipman

Mathew doesn’t want to turn into his father, which explains why he decides to work away from home despite his father’s urging. Luke, always the wild one, decides to join the army even when his father begs him to reconsider this decision. Mary, the devoted and bright daughter that Jonathan wants so badly to go to college, decides to elope with an abusive man instead. Given all that is going in his children’s lives, it is easy to understand his despair and disappointment. The war only makes things worse. Jonathan stares at an uncertain future, and the people he hoped would give him strength are nowhere to be seen. This story comes with historically accurate information about World War II.
