In the midst of wartime, love grows... Just a few short weeks after getting engaged, Walter Klein is drafted into the army. Rita, his charming fiancée, puts on a brave face and writes to him every day during their separation. More than a war story, Kisses When I Get Home offers a glimpse of life in America during World War II, as seen through the eyes of the young lovers. Rita's vivid and articulate descriptions of daily life and Walter's steady devotion and tales of his army experiences bring the era alive. As Walter and Rita deal with obstacles to their upcoming marriage as well as personal tragedy, their love remains strong. Nearly every letter ends with "I love you very very much" and "I miss you very very much." The box of treasured letters remained hidden on a musty basement shelf until after their deaths, when Walter's nephew Richard discovered them. Faded and brittle, they preserved a genuine depiction of life and courtship through the eyes of two incredibly special people. This collection of love letters from a simpler era will appeal to women and men of all ages. History buffs, military families, or anyone who has ever been in love will want to read the epistolary tale of Walter and Rita Klein. UNABRIDGED VERSION
