Dearest Love

"Dearest Love" tells the story of William "Bill" Thomas's journey through World War II—his thoughts on the war, his feelings for his far-away family, and his desire to return home.

Crafted with real letters written by Bill and historical context provided by Bill's grandson Mohan, this military and family memoir traces the connections between Bill as a soldier in the 1940s and the man—and grandfather—he would one day become.

While Bill's letters were intended for his wife Eleanor, this book is a letter for future generations. Despite war, sacrifice, and thousands of miles, love and family values persevered.
