A creative nonfiction account of four brothers in the Second World War and their battles on and off the frontlines. Read about Joe, Danny, Richard, and Pat, and their mom and dad, Philomena and Duncan Gillis, as well as their grandparents Archie and Mary.
A look into the early 1900's, up to and including glimpses of three centuries through the eyes of Phil who lived as a baby in the 1800's, a growing girl and woman through the 1900's, and as an older woman at the turn of the millennium.
Hers is a life of longevity, dying at 103. It is through her eyes that we experience the risk, worry, and fear of war, and come to understand why momma cried, the cost to families, countries, and economies, but we also see the strength of the human spirit when facing life's worst moments.
