Beschreibung
For a family separated by war but united through mail, what happens if the letters stop. As World War II ravages the globe, one scattered American family is held together by ink, paper, and hope. Harold Carleton is in Europe with one of his brothers; another is in the jungles of the Pacific islands; a nephew is training pilots in Texas; his brother wants to leave school and join the fight. At home, those left behind face a quieter battle against rationing, anxiety, and the suffocating weight of the unknown. The mailbox becomes a lifeline; it's the only link to the boys they love. Every letter feels like a victory; every silence, a haunting threat. Which will arrive next: the US Post Office with a treasured letter, or Western Union with a dreaded telegram. Searching for Harold is the poignant, intimate portrait of a family caught in the crosswinds of history's greatest conflict, told through the letters that kept their hopes alive.
