4.9/5 (23498 ratings)

Description:Whenever Edie Clark asked her father about World War II, he would reply, "There isn't much to tell." But there were bags and boxes full of letters. And the story she found after her parents died, was as rich and strange and heartbreaking as a fairy tale.Once upon a time there was a beautiful young woman and the two young men who loved her. Both of them wanted to marry her; both went off to war, one to Africa and the other to the Pacific. When she finally decided which man she would wed, she wrote to tell him of her decision but the letter came back stamped "Deceased."After the war, she married the other, who knew he was not her first choice, but he wanted her still. They had two daughters, who grew up with three sets of grandparents - their mother's parents, their father's parents, and the parents of the young man who had been killed.They lived not happily ever after, but in a perpetual state of longing. In her search for answers, Edie finds the story, and comes to understand the devastating effects of war. She learns that no one returns from war unharmed. And that her parents had a love story all their own.In "What There Was Not To Tell," Edie Clark sets out to fill in the details of the gaping hole that was created in her family's life by the death of a man she never met. What she discovered is a riveting story that is both tragic yet somehow triumphant, uniquely personal yet universal. This is a surprising and thoroughly compelling tale of how a single casualty of war can set off chain reactions of heartbreaking loss, undying love and unshakable loyalty across multiple generations. At the same time, it is an incredible piece of family detective work that keeps taking unexpected twists and turns. -- Dayton Duncan, author of "The Dust Bowl" and "The National Parks: America's Best Idea."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
