We recently discovered a shoebox of love letters my grandparents wrote during World War II. Within the lines of their letters, we quickly realized what we were reading: the most incredible love story never told.

I found them at the same age my grandmother was when she wrote them and I instantly connected with her. At the age of 31, she had never been in love. She felt like an outlier with a slanted view of the universe who would never experience life's greatest adventure.

 

This is the story of a woman who realizes she is capable of the one thing she wanted most: falling in love. 

 

Each letter was written during a shared coffee hour where they would sit and write letters at the same time every day, thousands of miles away, and dream of a reunion. A coffee table book seemed best.

​

My father and I spent the past 18 months transcribing their letters, illustrating their words, and narrating their story. I designed this book and every page is intentional. I hope to send you a copy and introduce you to the world the Red Cross Girl & the Navy Boy created for us.
