Author Description

1968 and '69 were memorable years for most Americans. For Linda Burnham, wife to a drafted Army doctor and mother to three small children, those years were unforgettable. They were spent in a tatami house in a remote Japanese village, with rain every day, kerosene heat, a cesspool in the backyard, Armed Forces Radio and a strong dose of military life and its endless red tape. To save her sanity, she wrote letters home every day to her friend Mary, who kept them. This book, gleaned from those letters, is a true story.
