Paper Doll - by Brian W Peterson (Paperback)

About the Book

One family's struggles, successes, and tragedies during the Great Depression and World War II.

Book Synopsis

Three brothers. One Great Depression. One dreadful yet righteous war. Their lives shifted from a rural northern Minnesota upbringing to going their separate ways: to California, the skies over Germany, and the jungles of Leyte.

Back home, their widowed mother had yet to recover from the loss of the family farm to the Tax Man. Her boys gone, dependent on their income, and haunted by premonitions, she faced the torment of incessant worries.

One brother could not get into the military and settled for the shipyards; two went to war. Depression and war forever altered the Peterson family.

Paper Doll is a true story in novel form, telling the fascinating stories which added to the American tapestry during extraordinary times.
