After reading dozens of letters written throughout the 1940’s from my Great Grandfather to my Great Grandmother, I knew I had to write their story. Yet along with this realization came my absolute inability to do so. I was overwhelmed with the daunting task of portraying a real-life love story through largely fictionalized events.
Yet freedom came as I began to write. With every detail I no doubt got wrong and every scene I independently constructed, I experienced a sense of renewed vigor for the undertaking I had attempted. These stories may not have been my own, but they were now mine to tell.
The following reflects my perspective on what might have happened, the lives George and Katherine may have lead. They are stories that once lived coming back to life once more.
