Sentimental Journey (Home Front - book #1)
“The bad news was, getting better meant he would have to say goodbye.
By the end of the second week in January, he knew that the time was almost there. He took long walks during the day, sometimes with Mrs. Wilson, sometimes on his own, as he tried to figure out what he would do with the rest of his life.
Today he was alone.
The morning mail had brought the news he’d been expecting. As of February 1, 1945, Private Johnny Danza would be a civilian. Any day now he’d be well enough to l...eave the shelter of the Wilson home and head out on his own again. What was that old saying? Oh yeah. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
He’d spent his entire life on the outside looking in. For a little while he’d glimpsed something different, something better, but the glimpse had been fleeting. He’d been born alone and alone he was going to stay.
There was no place for him in that strange new world called the American home front.MoreLess
