About the Book

I am the fortunate owner of many letters that my parents wrote to each other between 1937 and 1945. These letters have been compiled into a series of three books.

Just Yours, the first book, includes letters beginning in September 1937, when Glenn was in the Civilian Conservation Corps in South Carolina and Nita was a rising high school senior in Concord, NC. Just Yours continues through December 1942, when Glenn was in the Army Air Corps aboard the Ile de France on his way to India and Nita was working in Concord, NC. From India With Love, book two, contains letters written from January 1943 - March 1944, while Glenn was stationed at various bases in India and Nita was doing her part to help the war effort back home.

The Waltz You Saved for Me is the third book in the series, My Parents' Love Letters During World War II. This book begins in April 1944 with Glenn still in India. He has not seen his fiancé, Nita, since March 1942 when he first entered the service. Other than one brief phone call when Glenn was still in the states, their only contact has been through letters and telegrams. Their correspondence continues through October 1945, when Glenn was discharged from the Army Air Force. .

This book consists of mostly letters written by Daddy while he was in India. Mother wrote to him daily for years, but unfortunately, he had to destroy letters before traveling to and from overseas. After he returned to the states and they married, my mother's letters are included as well, after his furlough is up and he returns to the army to eventually muster out. In addition to these letters, there are diary entries by my paternal grandfather, Boston Harris, describing farm life back home without the help of his three sons, who are serving their country during World War II.

Reading this book transports one back to the 1940's and the cultural happenings of the day, including many references of songs and movies. History comes to life as you see the world in that time through the eyes of a soldier from South Carolina and the girl back home who loves and misses him. Although Glenn has not been home in over two years, his hope for victory and the return to his fiancé and family never waivers, as he dreams of what his life will be like once the war is finally over.
