Publisher's Synopsis
We'll Meet Again is a bitter-sweet romance following three guys and two girls who come of age during World War II and the post-war period. These five reared in a small Louisiana town have been friends all their lives. This story trances their interwoven lives through the war and post-war years. The men fight the war in different ways and the women man the home front. There is romance and betrayal among the five. The good guy doesn't always win the hand of whom he loves and the bad guy might come out on top. In the post-war period one of the characters suffers "battle fatigue" later to become known as PTSD. Another launches a political career exploiting his military record. The third escapes memories of the war through charitable work as a doctor and through church and civic activities. One woman suffers through abuse and infidelity, but finds solace through an extra-marital affair. The other woman turns to religion to find her way through the absence of her husband. Much of the novel is set in the small Louisiana town, but action takes place in San Francisco, western Florida and in various theaters of war from the Philippines, to North Africa and the Pacific.
