“War kids grew up without parents. With our dads fighting and mothers doing all sorts of war work, we made our own way.” Based on real childhood experiences during World War II, Hornbostel recalls a lost era of innocence in the midst of international hostilities. Funny, sad, and raucous, these short stories crackle with dry Midwestern wit and vivid descriptions of rural life.
