Book Description
A Marine Corps Officer, Everett Smith, served overseas for nearly three years including 1944 and 1945 in the Pacific Theater. Eighty years after the unconditional surrender of Imperial Japan ended WW II, the massive conflict that engulfed every corner of the planet is increasingly a distance memory. Its toll on an entire generation in lost and maimed lives and destruction of entire cities has faded into the history books. While the conclusion of the European war was being celebrated with VE Day on May 8, 1945, U.S. armed forces were still engaged in a vicious battle against Japanese combatants on Okinawa Island. By early August, preparations code named Operation Downfall were well underway for a massive invasion of Japan’s mainland islands. Everett expected to participate in that final campaign and privately believed he would not survive it. For military personnel serving overseas, letters from loved ones were critical lifelines. This book is a compilation of letters Everett wrote to his wife. In them, he describes the battle’s progression (censured), his dreams for their future together, and especially his love for Ruth during their many months of separation

Book Description
Paul A. Lavallee is a romantic when writing or talking about small town New England. He is an occasional contributor to a weekly newspaper publication, writing on local issues as well as timely articles of interest. He was born and still lives in the heart of the Blackstone River Valley, where Americas industrial revolution began. A Marine veteran of the Korean War, Mr. Lavallees recollection of growing up in a small mill town during the war years of the 1940s, along with his later experiences at Parris Island, and then in war-ravaged Korea in the 1950s, all tended to inspire him to write his first novel, Rattle of the Looms. That novel was and still is so well received that a sequel seemed imperative. Thus comes the revisiting of the old mill town, Northcross, along with the eeriness of Emery Sibleys mansion, the few vaguely familiar faces over at Felix Morrells bar, as well as the folks who happen to be still around town in 1982, twenty-eight years after the close of the original novel that ended in 1954.
