a book about -- three extraordinary lives connected by music and a long-distance friendship for two decades. The soldier is Captain Jennie Calhoon Burling, U.S. Army Nurse Corps who met the sailor, Commander Donald O. Burling, USNR, on a troopship bound for Bombay during World War II. The singer is Dodie Frost, whose lyrical voice and ability to create the right tunes for Burling's words captivated him.In 1982, the Burlings asked Frost to record a country gospel album for them in Nashville. It was the beginning of their formal collaboration. As she received detailed handwritten letters from these senior friends she never met, Frost realized what astonishing lives they had lived and continued to live in retirement. She discovered that the Burlings were educators, prolific writers and had each been published. Both were interested in theology and the Bible -- Jennie Burling read it eleven times before her death. She was often called upon to give talks about her assignment with the Army Nurse Corps in 1943 in Iran. Her account is included in the book. Donald Burling had been writing poems since he was a young boy, and his active intellect has pursued the possibility of extraterrestrial beings and theories about the life of Jesus after the Crucifixion.Dodie Frost is a vocalist, entertainer, recording artist and songwriter of country, religious and commercial music.
