That moment, when Haney learned of his father's death in the final months of fighting, changed his and his mother's lives forever. \u003cp\u003e In this powerful book, Haney explores the impact of war on an American family. 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.
