Publisher's Synopsis
Two lovers - Mitch and A.J. - find themselves torn apart by the winds of World War II. What keeps their love alive? Dearest A.J. tells the story of secret letters locked in A.J.'s heart and hidden for more than fifty years. They held the aroma of romance, the sounds of war, and the pain of parting. Who knew A.J. kept these treasures of her heart after all these years? It also chronicles Mitch's war as part of "The Greatest Generation," who defeated the tyrant of their age. From the frontlines of Mitch's service through North Africa, Sicily, and Italy, his letters tie their hearts together across an ocean and through a war. Dearest A.J. takes you back to a simpler time free of social media, iPhones, and everywhere communication. A time when men and women put pen to paper and wrote tender words, passionate words marinated in the heart over days, weeks, and even months.
