"Helen and Wilfred, both twenty-two, met only months before the Wall Street Crash of 1929. The circuitous and poignant story of their love unfolds against the backdrop of history in the making--the Great Depression, British colonialism in Africa, the rise of Nazi Germany, and World War II. Spanning three continents, the narrative juxtaposes the cultures of the American South, Britain, Southern Rhodesia, South Africa, Germany and North Africa. The chronicle ends with a deeply personal drama--an improbable eighteen-day mercy flight across the Atlantic and down the length of Africa, even as the Battle of Normandy raged below. This is the story of my family, captured primarily in handwritten letters with accompanying personal accounts and historic photos. It reveals the challenges and triumphs of the times, and a love that endured through it all."--Cover.
