"Inspired by her parent's courtship letters, Eileen Torgersen-Smith presents a heart warming account of a romance that took place over the course of 1940, a year that had great historical significance for the world. During 1940 American sentiment shifted from one of isolationism to that of support for the war effort to fight Nazi Germany. It was the year that President Franklin Roosevelt won an historic third term. During the campaign both he and Republican candidate Wendell Willkie promised that no American boys would be sent to fight in Europe. Meanwhile, the first peace-time conscription law was enacted and Congress authorized a huge defense budget, setting the stage for the armament industry to gear up for massive production. Despite the horrible backdrop of a looming World War Two, the wonderfully sweet romance between Art and Sally unfolds. Art is a traveling salesman in northeastern North Dakota. Sally is an elementary school teacher in Fargo, where she resides in an apartment at Hotel Fargoan. How will there lives be affected by the war?"--Amazon.com.
