Aaron’s War Inspiration
Sometimes, it is one thing that inspires the writing of a novel. There were many inspirations behind the story, Aaron’s War but no doubt how WWII affected my father was a big one. The picture above was of my father and sister a year after the war ended. He left us when I was just a youngster. I cannot imagine what he went through.
No doubt, my mother and father loved each other, and I saw that firsthand how they related when he was dying. Their relationship was forged by love, patriotism, worry and torn apart by a vagabond gene and the taste of alcohol.
