UPROOTED: Family Is Where You Find It - 7631

Diane Holmes describes in her memoir, UPROOTED: Family Is Where You Find It, what it's like being born in 1932, middle of the Great Depression. She writes about WWII through the eyes of a child helping the war efforts on the home front - victory gardens, war bonds, rationing books, and sacrificing. Diane tells readers what she experienced in her military life being married to a career officer who flew helicopters and jet fighters and spent two tours in Vietnam. She explains how they dreaded the separations but made things work by buying two small recorders and sending tapes back and forth. She smiles and frowns telling about raising kids moving from duty station to duty station searching out good schools at each place. She describes going back to college to update skills then entering the workforce after nearly 25 years being away. Holmes enjoys sharing with readers special Christmas celebrations during her lifetime. And she ends her memoir, UPROOTED: Family Is Where you Find It, telling readers how she dealt with a devastating loss.
