In the Pink: A World War II Story

World War II is retold through letters to Josephine, the mother of a pilot, a gunner, a nurse, and a violinist in Europe during the war.

What horrible experiences will her grown children go through? And will they come home safe and sound from this terrible war?

This book puts the ordinary soldier at center stage by bringing together letters from the front.

Josephine will feel the pain of saying goodbye to her grown children. She will feel the uncertainty of her children sailing off to foreign shores and the terror of fighting bloody battles. It is a story of the angst of a mother receiving letters from the front and hoping for her grown children to come home safe and sound.

Johanne Levesque was born in Quebec City, Canada. She had more treasures than she could manage; she had books. Her childhood was a series of events that made her life feel unsafe. Her escape was books. She could be anyone. She could be anywhere. It was so simple, just open a page and read. Her love of reading turned into her love of writing. Her first book, Trouble and Strife, is a Canadian perspective of the Great Depression. This is the sequel following the same family during the Second World War.
