Into the Light of Day

Rona Simmons

4.9/5 (16901 ratings)

Description:The ten short stories comprising this collection had their genesis in a short biographical work the author completed a decade ago. In 2002, Rona Simmons captured her father’s World War II experiences in his own words. What she thought most compelling were the vivid details her father remembered. These tiny fragments of his life, some of which had lasted only a single moment, sparkled brightly through the fog of the many years since 1944. Convinced everyone has memories chock-full of fascinating details and pivotal moments worth sharing, Rona set out to find others from the same general era who would allow her to bring them into the light of day before they are lost or forgotten.In the summer and fall of 2012, she interviewed several individuals, lifelong friends, distant relatives, and a few complete strangers all of whom were gracious enough to contribute their memories. Rona pored over existing story drafts, published and unpublished memoirs, emails, message board posts, and photos from the contributors then created dialogue and added narrative to bring the stories to life. To some, she added characters, scenes, or situations for dramatic purposes, but she always remained true to the original. Although a few of the stories take place during the war years, they are not war stories, but rather stories of giving to and caring for others, of learning life’s hard lessons, and of growing up in turbulent and troubled times.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
