The other night I had a reading/signing event at Touchmark Retirement Community.
An employee approached me and said while she hadn’t read War Bonds: Love Stories From the Greatest Generation, her daughter had.
It seems her daughter and her husband were looking for home and found one they really wanted in Millwood, WA.
“It wasn’t the house so much, it was what they felt when they were inside it,” the woman said. “There was such love in that house.”
A neighbor chatted with them and told them the couple who had lived there had built the house and had been married for more than 70 years.
“Their story is in a book,” he said.
Alas, the couple didn’t get the house, but they did buy a copy of War Bonds. And they fell in love with Warren and Betty Schott, just like the rest of us.
