At Grandma's House
Author: H. Byron Earhart
Publisher: SIU Press
ISBN: 0809370077
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 282
Book Description
Illinois State Historical Society Certificate of Excellence Winner, 2021 When H. Byron Earhart’s father enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1942, young Byron and his family moved into his grandparents' old-fashioned home with a coal-fired range and potbelly stove, and his mother took charge of the family business, a frozen food locker. Grandma was the undisputed head of the family. While his father served on the battleship USS Missouri, his grandparents and mother held the family and the business together. At Grandma’s House is a tribute to everyday Americans who provided the social glue for a country at war as they balanced fear and anxiety for loved ones with the challenges and pleasures of daily life. The experiences of the Earhart family and this Midwestern community, supplemented by contemporary documents, family photos, and professional illustrations, recount with vivid local color the drama that played out on the national and international stage.

Confessions of a Military Wife
Author: Mollie Gross
Publisher: Savas Beatie
ISBN: 161121050X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
“This book will have you laughing so hard you cry . . . As Confessions aptly demonstrates, military spouses lead interesting lives.” —Tara E. Crooks, cofounder of Army Wife Network As the wife of a Marine Corps officer, Mollie Gross learned the hard way to laugh instead of cry at what she could not control—and as she quickly discovered, nearly everything was out of her control. A standup comedienne, Mollie explores everything about the “issued” spouse, from deployment and the stress of having a husband in a combat zone, to the realization that marriage changes when your husband returns home from war. Nothing is taboo or out-of-bounds in this funny, poignant memoir, including the “parties” military wives throw for themselves before hubby returns. (You’ll have to read the book to find out about those.) “Mollie Gross is the Chelsea Handler of the milspouse community. She’s unfiltered, honest, and hilarious, with an underlying message to stop whining and be proud. Think of it as heartfelt humor for the home front.” — Military Spouse magazine “Mollie’s no-holds-barred account of what it was like during her first four years of being married to a Marine, dealing with the moves, wartime deployments, and life on the home front, will leave you laughing, crying, and shaking your head in disbelief asking, ‘Did she really just say that!?’” — Kristine Schellhaas, founder of USMC Life

An Expected End is a story of disappointment, despair, hope, and fulfillment. Nia and Nelson Taylor are a well-to-do couple who had experienced everything that they meticulously planned for their lives, except the one thing that meant the most to them-a family. They struggled for years with disappointments, loss, and grief as they were unable to achieve their goal of starting a family. After giving up hope on the possibility of achieving this goal in the way they had planned, through their faith and perseverance, they found that even the best and well-thought-out plans are often derailed by God's divine plan for one's life. In yielding to God's plan for their lives, they found that there was not only fulfillment, but also hope and a future that they could not have planned or imagined. This story leaves the reader motivated to pursue their dreams and continue believing that anything is possible when we yield our plans to the plan that God has for us.

Everything is Normal
Author: Sergey Grechishkin
Publisher: Inkshares
ISBN: 1942645910
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 336
Book Description
Everything is Normal offers a lighthearted worm’s-eye-view of the USSR through the middle-class Soviet childhood of a nerdy boy in the 1970s and ’80s. A relatable journey into the world of the late-days Soviet Union, Everything is Normal is both a memoir and a social history—a reflection on the mundane deprivations and existential terrors of day-to-day life in Leningrad in the decades preceding the collapse of the USSR. Sergey Grechishkin’s world is strikingly different, largely unknown, and fascinatingly unusual, and yet a world that readers who grew up in the United States or Europe during the same period will partly recognize. This is a tale of friendship, school, and growing up—to read Everything is Normal is to discover the very foreign way of life behind the Iron Curtain, but also to journey back into a shared past.
