    About this audiobook

    It's the 1940s. WW II. A New England farm boy is growing up during wartime. In Home Front A Memoir from WWII you'll share his story - the blackouts, the rationing, the fears, the patriotism and the unity everyone felt. As the men go off to war, our young narrator grows to an obliged maturity, shouldering the work they left behind while struggling with the daily impact of the war on his world. But the biggest impact would come after the war when the country was all about getting back to normal. For him normal was gone.

    Home Front chronicles a farm family and how their lives were irrevocably changed by the war and by "progress" in the post war period.
