Book excerpt: A World War II love story, narrated through a new bride’s dazzling array of vintage postcards, newspaper clippings, photographs, and more Lila Jerome has never been very lucky in love, and has always been more interested in studying architecture and, more recently, supporting the war bond effort on the home front. But in the fall of 1943, a chance spark with a boarder in her apartment sets Lila on a course that shakes up all of her ideas about romance. Lila is intoxicated by Perry Weld, the charismatic army engineer who’s about to ship out to the European front, and it isn’t long before she discovers that the feeling is mutual. After just a few weeks together, caught up in the dramatic spirit of the times and with Perry’s departure date fast approaching, the two decide to elope. In a stunning kaleidoscope of vibrant ephemera, Lila boldly attempts to redefine her life in America as she navigates the heartache and longing of a marriage separated by ocean and war. In her second scrapbook novel after the lauded Scrapbook of Frankie Pratt, Caroline Preston has once again pulled from her own extraordinary collection of vintage memorabilia, transporting us back to the lively, tumultuous 1940s and introducing us to an unforgettable, ambitious heroine who must learn to reconcile a wartime marriage with a newfound self-confidence.

Download or read book Good Housekeeping Wartime Scrapbook written by Barbara Dixon and published by Collins & Brown. This book was released on 2005-04-23 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Good Housekeeping was one of very few publications that was printed throughout the war, despite paper shortages and rations. The government supported the magazine – one of its most important elements was the recipes that were endorsed by the Ministry of Food, designed to encourage readers to use every resource available to them to keep their families as healthy as possible. Other vitally important messages reiterated by 'Good Housekeeping' during the war years were to recycle and save paper and to grow your own food wherever possible. This often amusing and nostalgic collection takes a look at contemporary fashion, beauty and household tips, cartoons, recipes and much more, all reflecting the changing role of women in society at that time and providing a fascinating insight into the wartime habits of the magazine’s readers. The scrapbook is divided into chapters, focusing on the key issues for women during this important time in history, including the home and running the household; money matters and budgeting; women’s rights in the workplace and their position in society; health, beauty, advice on hair and make-up; wartime fashions; rationing, food and recipe ideas. Vintage competitions and advertisements are included throughout, adding a unique insight into how life really was during wartime.

Download or read book The Old Scrapbook written by Dennis Higgins and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-06-21 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on a true story, a real scrapbook from World War II and real people. Bet and Ray met, fell in love, and got engaged until they were separated by a war. The Old Scrapbook is real, Ray Speck (my blood relative) and Betty Campioni were real as well. This story is an attempt to fill in the blanks of their real relationship. My mother received the scrapbook from her uncle (Ray's real brother). I found it when my mom died. I had never laid eyes on it before that time. The only thing I did know about Ray was he was my mom's uncle who died in the war. I was able to uncover much information about Bet and Ray. I went from zero to ninety doing extensive research to find them and Bet's family. Like Kenny in my story, I became a little obsessed with the scrapbook and what could have become of the young woman who created it. I felt from the beginning that I was led to that war-time scrapbook by an unseeing hand. I could feel something from its pages. I felt Bet's loving nature and fun personality transcended the years, coming out of the words and pictures from those black pages. It made this the most unique book I had ever had the pleasure to write. Seventy years later, the old scrapbook was found and the mysteries involved, rediscovered.
