Monique´s Miraculous Destiny. Abandoned War Bride is the life story of 3 generations. Back in time we view the 30´s, 40´s, 50´s, and beyond, starting in the city of Marseille in south France and continuing in three states: Mississippi, Louisiana and Alabama, located in Dixieland. It has an expanded geography throughout France, Italy and other countries in Europe. The book is written in prose, with many quotations written in French with an English translation. The subjets are: Memoirs/history/traditions/drama/religion/love and travel The beginning of the book is the story of a hard working big family who were making progress before the war described by a young lady. When WWII began, dramatic changes took place such as the loss of freedom, food, and education for the children. The misery increased when the father of that family lost his vision. (the most dramatic chapters in the book). Liberation was welcome but the young lady became infatuated with an american soldier and married him. Her arrival in the US, as a War Bride, was a dramatic situation because he had abandoned her in rural Mississippi. She took refuge in New Orleans, La. and had to face shocks and solve her problems by herself at that age.( the most discouraging chapters in the book). As time passed, one of the greatest love story ever told develops of two strangers which was God´s plan. This young lady found Love and happiness with a family. These stories are followed by many events taking place in Mobile and Birmingham, Al. There are also many comical stories and details of traveling in Europe as well as her husband recounting his war experiences in the US Navy Sea Bees in the Pacific theater during WWII. (the most rewarding chapters in the book). The young lady who is telling the story as far back as she can remember is a grandmother today and is telling the stories to her children who are BABY BOOMERS and to her grandchildren who are very curious and want to know everything. This memorable life story is an open book to discussion and sharing a unique quality of life with all of our family and friends. ( the most unique story ever told). I hope this book will influence others to write their stories to their children, grandchildren, and to their friends. " Our children cannot know who they are if they do no know where their parents came from and how they come about to live in this country especially if they are born in another part of the world." Today, there is nothing to be ashamed of or embarrassed about because people make mistakes and we learn from them. We all have regrets, secrets and confessions to make and what a relief it is in someone´s life to tell it all. The theme: DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU".

“One word sums this book up for me; Magnificent! . . . this is right up there with the best war romances I have read . . . Just stunning!” —Chicks, Rogues and Scandals July 1942 Dear diary, despite the war raging around me, I find I can’t stop thinking about the American officer, Sergeant Dale Johnson. I’ve never known anyone as brave, kind and handsome! But I promised myself I wouldn’t care this much about a man again, especially when he could be transferred at any time. Yet that only makes me want to relish our time together. Now fighting my heart feels like the biggest battle . . . “An excellent WWII romance that is both sweet and well-researched. This book was a delight to read.” —Romantic Parvenu

For thousands of young British girls, the influx of Canadian soldiers conscripted to Britain during the Second World War meant throngs of handsome young men. The result was over 48,000 marriages to Canadian soldiers alone, and a mass emigration of British women to North America and around the world in the 1940’s. For many brides, the decision to leave their family and home to move to a country thousands of miles away with a man they hardly knew brought forth ensuing happiness. For others, the outcome was much different, and the darker side of the story reveals the infidelity, domestic violence, poverty, alcoholism and divorce that many lived through. War Brides draws on original archival documents, personal correspondence, and key first hand accounts to tell the amazing story of the War Brides in their own words-and shows the love, passion, tragedy and spirit of adventure of thousand of British women.

Many of them were escorted across the water and handed over to their husbands with nothing more than a handsake and a cookbook. Following her heart to rural Saskatchewan, Gwen felt like a fish out of water. She couldn't milk a cow or cook with a wood stove. And then she had the in-laws to contend with...
