The Aftermath of Love and War

By Mary McClurkin

Growing up in a small town in the South, Ella Mae Williams had dreams of college, travel and career. But her love for a soldier, five years her senior, changed all her dreams. Her courtship fueled by her fantasies of family and enduring love was interrupted on her wedding day when her life began to unravel. Her tale spans from the turbulent 1950s to the civil rights struggle of the 1960s and the Vietnam War. It embraces deep southern traditions against the open-mindedness of Harlem, New York. It reveals family secrets and taboo topics not to be discussed outside the home. Ella Mae spins a poignant tale of victory and defeat that leads to her becoming more aware of what really matters in life: faith, family and self-preservation.
