Download or read book When is Daddy coming home written by Richard Carlton Haney and published by Wisconsin Historical Society. This book was released on 2020-05-12 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World War II was coming to a close in Europe and Richard Haney was only four years old when the telegram arrived at his family's home in Janesville, Wisconsin. That moment, when Haney learned of his father's death in the final months of fighting, changed his and his mother's lives forever. In this emotionally powerful book, Haney, now a professional historian, explores the impact of war on an American family. Unlike many of America's 183,000 World War II orphans, Richard Haney has vivid memories of his father. He skillfully weaves together those memories with his parents' wartime letters and his mother's recollections to create a unique blend of history and memoir. Through his father's letters he reveals the war's effect on a man who fought in the Battle of the Bulge with the 17th Airborne but wanted nothing more than to return home, a man who expressed the feelings of thousands when he wrote to his wife, "I've seen and been through a lot but want to forget it all as soon as I can." Haney illuminates life on the home front in small-town America as well, describing how profoundly the war changed such communities. At the same time, his memories of an idyllic family life make clear what soldiers like Clyde Haney felt they were defending. With "When Is Daddy Coming Home?", Richard Haney makes an exceptional contribution to the literature on the Greatest Generation - one that is both devastatingly personal and representative of what families all over America endured during that testing time. No one who reads this powerful story will come away unmoved.

Download or read book When s Daddy Comin Home written by Rachell Jackson and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-03-29 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twelve year-old Duffy Bowdrie uses her imagination to help her cope with the disappearance of her daddy. Duffy Bowdrie's most treasured item is a framed photo that shows her lovingly squeezed between her mom and daddy on a park bench, laughing joyously. That was a year ago-shortly before he went missing-in-action. Now she and her mom must deal with his absence as best they can. In the Garden District Middle School band, Duffy chooses to play the sousaphone, her daddy's favorite and the biggest and heaviest wind instrument. It's an enormous challenge for a small girl, but she insists on marching with it in the three mile long Easter parade in sultry New Orleans. Meanwhile, her colorful imagination allows her to become a pole-vaulter, a symphony conductor, a flitting butterfly, a soaring, pooping bird. She even brings her BFFs--Audrey, LaWana, and Roselle--into her fantasies. But her greatest dream is that her daddy is alive and will be coming home soon. Rachell Elaine Jackson, Author Rachell fondly remembers her middle and high school days when she played trumpet (yes-trumpet) in the school bands, while she and friends wrote and performed skits for assembly programs. It was during those times that she learned to dance, discovered she was a terrible singer, failed at being a cheerleader, performed in school and community theatre plays, received her first real kiss, read books like a crazy person, and generally loved growing up with wonderful friends. She enjoys sharing her experiences--and her imagination--with readers. See more and communicate with her at www.rachelljackson.us.
