The 1940s were a time of extraordinary heroism, shattered lives, dashed hopes, long periods of absence, never-ending days and nights of worry, unfulfilled dreams, chance encounters, unexpected bonds between strangers, unanswered questions, and times of self-doubt and emptiness. Lou and Ian were just two of the young people who met, fell in love, and tried to sustain that intimate link over an ocean of distance and an endless stretch of time. This is the story of their meeting, their separation, and their struggles to live in the moment and not to surrender to despair and loneliness.

Letters Tied with Ribbons,
This review is from: Fondest Love-Yours, Ian (Kindle Edition)
This book will long remain a favorite for those who enjoy romance and history. Given that WWII is still fresh in the minds of many readers, they will identify with those difficult days during the 1940s, when two young people met, fell in love, and then tried to maintain their relationship through a series of letters. This slim book is one that will haunt your memories of a time gone by and make you wonder what secret letters, messages, and mementos lie stored in your parents' steamer truck, diaries, or chest of drawers. Interspersed with the letters Ian writes to his Hoosier sweetheart, Louise Hamm, the author and recipient of those letters, inserts her comments about how she reacted to his letters and to news from the war front. Here's a book that will make you think of the movie "Casablanca" and the song "Stardust." The author beautifully captures the bitter-sweet longing, fear, and despair of two lovers separated by fate and time.
