Letters To Myrtha

A battered strongbox, rescued from a trash pile after the death of the real-life Myrtha, is crammed full with letters, postcards, and photographs she saved over a lifetime. Starting with the missive from Walt that changed her heart, these letters follow Myrtha through courtship and the early years of marriage, seeing her family scatter during the Great Depression, the excitement of the war years and the exuberance of the decades that follow. The author shares this treasure so readers can better know the woman and family they have come to love. A supplement to "The Alexander Saga."
