Six Weeks for Boat Mail

By Bonnie Bedford Park

It's August 1941. Robin Bedford sets sail from New York Harbor bound for Valparaiso, Chile. Meanwhile Buster, her husband of ten weeks, hovers with the U.S. Army 101st Cavalry Regiment near the crisp and piney Massachusetts/New Hampshire border.

So begins the continuing story of Robin and Buster, two mid-twentieth century twenty-somethings, embarking on their newly-wed life together under the shadow of WW2. Half a world apart, Buster senses imminent danger in her wanderlust and begs Robin to return. But does she? Shamelessly traveling alone as a married woman, Japan's December 7 surprise attack on Pearl Harbor pins her whereabouts in Rio de Janeiro.

From an all-out-sham war on U.S. soil to a shocking extra-marital affair, join author Bonnie Bedford Park, as she helps us read between the lines of intimate, handwritten letters exchanged between a young couple and their most significant 1940s inner circle. Experience how this tribe desperately tries to stay connected in those pre-internet days, when their only option was to wait...Six Weeks for Boat Mail.
