Ordinary, daily events are uniquely woven
between the present and the past. The
author describes movingly how the simple

remembering the horrors of war while
stuck in St. Louis city traffic during a lawful

author's older son was ready to be
deployed to Desert Shield, she relived the
agonizing years as a daughter in WWII, and
as a wife during Vietnam.
