This Memoir developed from the more than 200 World War II letters of my Italian-American family living in the Bushwick section of Brooklyn, New York. There is a story to be told through the faded letters and photographs. But it is not mine. I have often wondered if it should be told at all. Have I the right to share the thoughts and emotions expressed in personal letters? Or should the emotions, sentiments, passion and mystery lie forgotten on the 75-year-old pages?

This is my family's story as told through their letters--and mine and I have been searching to solve the mysteries within these letters.
