Letters From Pearl
By C. M. McLain
A young sailor in bootcamp unexpectedly meets a young woman as he goes off to war. Their brief encounter in the per-electronic age was the inspiration for a lifelong relationship set in the backdrop of the World War II US Naval Campaign in the Pacific. Submarines and sailors came and went during this thirty month assignment. A few funny moments happened during the war. The Letters written from Pearl Harbor gives a quick look into the effects of the war, on the home front and in the battlegrounds.
