Six Weeks for Boat Mail, sequel to Brides of 1941, is the anticipated second book in an enchanting non-fiction trilogy. Based on a collection of personal letters preserved between family members and other unusual suspects living in North and South America, author Bonnie Bedford Park blends history, biography, geography, and humor. In an extraordinary time, circa 1941 - 1943, young Americans are called upon to build upon the military might of the new U.S. Army. This is the story of their call to action to beat the Axis powers.
