| Publisher Description: Praise for Yearning "Sally Cisney Mann tells a powerful, moving, and unforgettable story of tragedy and hope, loss and love, suffering and triumph. Hers is a life shaped by sweeping events - economic and social dislocation from the Great Depression, World War II, and the war in Southeast Asia. All students of 'war and the family' should read this work, as well as those interested in the social history of women in America and in how we construct our individual identities when the world seems unwilling to cooperate. Her truly remarkable account, at once personal and universal, details her quest for stability - and for family. Readers will shed tears at all she endured, and they'll be 'in her corner' as she struggles to prevail over heartache." - Donald J. Mrozek Professor and Director of Graduate Studies, Department of History, Kansas State University Author of Air Power and the Ground War in Vietnam |
