About this product
Product Information
The letters in this book tell two stories: my father's experience as an 18-year old Staff Sergeant in the U.S. Army between 1947 and 1948; and his mother's struggle to run a funeral business in a small North Carolina town. In the letters, Julian Carr Burroughs, Jr. is preoccupied with the girl he left behind and the morale of his family--while his mother, Ruby Morton Burroughs Sedberry, confronts her loneliness and isolation in a home that doubles as a place where bodies are embalmed and placed in caskets for their loved ones to view. These letters between mother and son paint a unique and detailed picture of the challenges faced by parents and children involved in the military right after WWII and by Southern women emerging from the Great Depression to the possibilities of a better life.

Worst comic book shipment I've ever received. Item shipped in thin paper mailer. Item came bent and distorted. For the price that was paid $16 more care should have been taken. I've bought $3 books packed way better than this. Worst and horible experience with comic book packaging on ebay. Thanks for taking care of our items that we spend our hard earned money on.... not... review only positive because it arrived on time... and I'm not waiting a week just to mark you on negative.
