Publisher's Synopsis
This is a collection of annotated letters written by a Red Cross worker during her overseas duty in Le Havre, France, in 1945-46, to her family in Pueblo, Colorado. Her letters include observations about current events, the economic situation at home and abroad, films, books, and the role of the American Red Cross overseas. They also document a romance with a young Army Lieutenant from Baltimore which leads to a wedding at the Army camp, the bride wearing a gown made of parachute silk sewn by her mother back in Colorado, and a honeymoon trip to Paris in the bride's jeep.
