Author Description

"A Cold War Love Story" is comprised of a collection of letters that author Alan Fisk Jr's parents exchanged during their 50 year love story. Initially separated by 1,000 miles, and separated off and on again because of the demands of service in the United States Navy, the couple's relationship is thoroughly logged by the exchange of written words on post cards, interiors of books, and photographs. This endearing correspondence paints the portrait of a long distance relationship before the digital age. These human artifacts still carry the emotion that they were endowed with a lifetime ago, a testament to the devotion of two lovers.
