Join us from noon to 1:00 p.m. on Thursday, November 8, for this month's author talk and book signing: No Ordinary Soldier: My Father's Two Wars by Liz Gilmore Williams. A young man from a gritty Pennsylvania mill town enlists in the Army Air Corps and heads for Hawaii. Amid air raids, stifling heat, and outbreaks of tropical disease, he clings to sanity through the letters he and his wife share, letters found years later saved in an attic. When his daughter finds these letters, they lead her to discover a shocking family secret and reveal a story of war, love, and forgiveness.
