Book Description
Now in paperback, a bestselling memoir of a family on the home front during World War II World War II was coming to a close in Europe and Richard Haney was only four years old when the telegram arrived at his family's home in Janesville, Wisconsin. That moment, when Haney learned of his father's death in the final months of fighting, changed his and his mother's lives forever. In this powerful book, Haney explores the impact of war on an American family. He skillfully weaves together those memories with his parents' wartime letters and his mother's recollections to create a unique blend of history and memoir. Through his father's letters he reveals the war's effect on a man who fought in the Battle of the Bulge with the 17th Airborne but wanted nothing more than to return home. Haney illuminates life on the home front in small-town America as well, describing how profoundly the war changed such communities. With When Is Daddy Coming Home?, Richard Haney makes an exceptional contribution to the literature on the Greatest Generation—one that is both devastatingly personal and representative of what families all over America endured during that testing time.

Book Description
Twelve year-old Duffy Bowdrie uses her imagination to help her cope with the disappearance of her daddy. Duffy Bowdrie's most treasured item is a framed photo that shows her lovingly squeezed between her mom and daddy on a park bench, laughing joyously. That was a year ago-shortly before he went missing-in-action. Now she and her mom must deal with his absence as best they can. In the Garden District Middle School band, Duffy chooses to play the sousaphone, her daddy's favorite and the biggest and heaviest wind instrument. It's an enormous challenge for a small girl, but she insists on marching with it in the three mile long Easter parade in sultry New Orleans. Meanwhile, her colorful imagination allows her to become a pole-vaulter, a symphony conductor, a flitting butterfly, a soaring, pooping bird. She even brings her BFFs--Audrey, LaWana, and Roselle--into her fantasies. But her greatest dream is that her daddy is alive and will be coming home soon. Rachell Elaine Jackson, Author Rachell fondly remembers her middle and high school days when she played trumpet (yes-trumpet) in the school bands, while she and friends wrote and performed skits for assembly programs. It was during those times that she learned to dance, discovered she was a terrible singer, failed at being a cheerleader, performed in school and community theatre plays, received her first real kiss, read books like a crazy person, and generally loved growing up with wonderful friends. She enjoys sharing her experiences--and her imagination--with readers. See more and communicate with her at www.rachelljackson.us. Amanda Rachels, Cover Artist Cover Artist Amanda Rachels has had a passion for art--comics in particular--since childhood. She's never without her beloved pencil. Really, she's had the same one for 20 years! By day she's a mild-mannered comic artist for INVERSE PRESS, drawing everything from slithering monsters to Shakespearian classics in comic form. By night well, she's pretty much the same. When she's not taming monsters or translating the bard into panels, Amanda enjoys any form of theatre, comics, cooking, and loud music.
