When Morris Sullivan joins the navy in 1940, his hopes are high. Though he leaves behind his new wife and their baby daughter, he is thrilled to be pursuing his lifelong dream--only to be shipped off to Pearl Harbor when the war begins. When he narrowly survives the 1941 attack, thanks to the courage of a black sailor he doesn't know, Morris is determined to seek out the man's family and express his gratitude and respect. On leave, he tracks down the man's sister in his very own hometown of Boston--and finds an immediate, undeniable connection with the nurturing yet fiercely independent Beatrice, who has left the stifling South of her upbringing for the more liberal, integrated north. Though both try to deny their growing bond, their connection and understanding is everything missing from Morris's hasty marriage to his high school sweetheart Agnes, and from Beatrice's plodding life as she grieves the brother she has lost. At once a family epic, and a historical drama that takes readers from World War II through the Civil Rights era to the present day, A Life Apart brings readers along for the emotional journey as Morris and Beatrice's relationship is tested by time, family loyalties, racial tensions, death, unending guilt, and the profound effects of war"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Families of military personnel $z United States. 650 0 $a Pearl Harbor (Hawaii), Attack on, 1941. $x History $v Fiction. 650 0 $a African American soldiers $x History $v Fiction. 651 0 $a United States $x Military life. $x Military life. 650 7 $a FICTION / Historical. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION / Family Life. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION / African American / Historical. $2 bisacsh 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 gsafd 856 42 $3 URL $u http://9780307719393.jpg 941 $a 4 952 $l DFPC353 $d 20240430015506.0 952 $l MXPG943 $d 20180720043252.0 952 $l MGPD463 $d 20180718023702.0 952 $l HRPE845 $d 20140726010141.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=28039E70148A11E4836A927CDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
