The War Baby (Paperback)

Maude King, Maggie McDonald, and Millie Mitchell had been best friends for as long as they could remember. The night before the girls graduated from high school in 1941, they made a "one for all and all for one" Three Musketeer vow. Each young woman sent her fellow off to war, and eventually all became wives and mothers. The War Baby is the heartwarming story of one of their offspring. This book will make you laugh, and it will make you cry. The captivating characters of this engaging family drama will keep you turning page after page. The intricate plot revolves around keeping hush-hush a big secret. Those in on the deception have pledged to take it with them to their graves. The narrative navigates the reader down the oft-rocky road to romance, through shadows of doubt, in and out of some adventuresome alleyways, and even behind the veil of mystery. In due course, triumph trumps tragedy, but not before traversing some intriguing, as well as ironic twists and turns along the way. This provocative tale might also prompt you to pause, and to ponder just who you are, and how you came to be. Larry G.
