- Synopsis
- Portrays the true story of the turbulence confronting an American farm family during and post-World War II. The compelling story is told in the voice of Douglas, the boy of the farm as he grows to an obliged maturity. An engaging narrator, he is among the last ones who personally experienced the scarcity of the depression, the fear and patriotism during World War II, and the exuberance in that brief, post-war period when America felt safe and when the middle class was born. After the war, with the GI Bill, VA loans, and fully stocked store shelves, the country was all about getting back to normal. But for some, normal was gone. This memoir chronicles a farm family and how normal evaded its reach.Home Front also includes Voices from the Home Front - 37 Americans sharing home front stories in their own words.
