September 1939 - Returning home to Manhattan for the High Holidays fifteen-year-old David Rosenbaum can't help but notice the changes in his childhood friend, Kathleen O'Dell. No longer the little girl he lent his favorite books to, David finds himself torn between his growing affection for Kathleen and his certainty that his parents would never approve of a relationship with a Catholic girl. Troubled when he overhears an altercation between Kathleen and her mother, his family's maid, David follows Kathleen to a shop owned by one of his father's oldest friends. What transpires next will change everything. When Pearl Harbor is bombed and America enters the war the ramifications of the decisions made that day will be felt, not only by Kathleen and David but by their families for generations to come. From New York City to Africa and Italy, from an elite prep school to the front, where who you used to be doesn't matter "Still We Hope" is a heartfelt saga of World War II; its impact on the men who served, the ones they left behind and how it haunted those lucky enough to make it back home.
Autorenporträt
After feeding her addiction to reading for close to forty years (Not too many engineering majors choose a literature minor) Amanda decided to try to write a novel. She quickly figured out that writing was a far bigger weakness for her than reading ever was. In addition to reading and writing, Amanda also loves downhill skiing, cross stitching and working out. She lives in New England with her husband and children.
