In the Pink: A World War II Story Johanne Levesque

World War II is retold through letters to Josephine, the mother of a pilot, a gunner, a nurse, and a violinist in Europe during the war. What horrible experiences will her grown children go through? And will they come home safe and sound from this terrible war? This book puts the ordinary soldier at center stage by bringing together letters from the front. Josephine will feel the pain of saying goodbye to her grown children. She will feel the uncertainty of her children sailing off to foreign shores and the terror of fighting bloody battles. It is a story of the angst of a mother receiving letters from the front and hoping for her grown children to come home safe and sound.
