As Always Jack
A Wartime Love Story
By Emma Sweeney  

She never knew her father. He died before she was born. Now this grown daughter meets him through letters from him to her mother which she just discovered. These were letters written in World War II from a young Navy pilot from Texas to a girl in Texas with whom he fell in love. These letters give poignant details of the passion of love and of the fears of wartime.

Reading the letters makes one realize what the power of letters (correspondence) can be. So much has been lost in these times by the diminished use of this means of communication. As Always Jack is a memorable read.
