Don't Let Down

Mary Malloy longs for the fulfillment of love and marriage, but first must unravel the mystery of love itself Greta Loetz must learn to conquer her fears so she can live in peace once againVince Spinellis wartime experiences reinforce his belief in a life spent in pursuit of justiceThese are just a few of the characters you will meet in Dont Let Down, a story of how the people in one Milwaukee parish banded together to defeat the power of war to destroy. Dont Let Down is based on the true story of a group of young women from St. Matthews Parish on Milwaukees south side, who published a newsletter in World War II that they sent to all the servicemen (and women) from their parish and sold to the parishioners each month. In fluent and graceful prose, the author has imagined the inner life of these young women and their families in rich historical detail, and has created a touching and inspiring story of the power of faith and love to transform lives. If youve ever wondered what life was like for your parents or grandparents during World War II, Dont Let Down will give you a glimpse into an era when every guy was a hero, and ordinary people lived through extraordinary times.
