Somewhere in the South Pacific: A Story of Love and Courage During World War II

On December 7, 1941, the United States of America was drawn into a world war that was to change the lives of every American - those who lived through that era and for generations after. Much has been written about the history of World War II. This true story takes place during those war years, but it is not a story about the war. This is above all a love story. It tells the story of one man, his wife and their family who survived the uncertainty of a world at war, hardship and long separation with marriage and love still in tact. It is a celebration of courage, commitment and devotion. It might be the story of many "ordinary" men and women who were profoundly affected by the events of their time, their bravery and the amazing ability to survive "the worst of times" with hope. The foundation for the telling of their story is approximately 250 letters written by Harold Jolliff to his wife, Deloris, during the years of Word War II while he was serving in the U.S. Navy in the South Pacific. The letters will allow you to become acquainted with Harold and Deloris and share their love story in a very special way. A chronology of war events along with Deloris' experiences at home and the reprint of many of Harold's letters creates a from beginning to end story line which will hold your interest as you share their lives.
