In Quest of Parenthood: Book Two of Sea Foam on the Sand Memories of a Charmed Life

A G.I. is sent into combat, iscaptured, starves for six months as a prisoner of war, escapes just before the war ends, and then returns to civilian life only to realize that after all that stress his head is not screwed on right. He rushes headlong into a romance with a woman too fast for his real moral commitments - but cancels his engagement to her before it is toolate. He is confused and dejected. But not for long. He finds a different kind of girl - not asflashy but quietly beautiful in her own way, and with an inner strength and moral integrity as solid as a rock. They have an intense but respectful courtship and soon get married. This all sounds like romanticfiction. But its the real beginning of a lifetime of unexpected fortuitous outcomes - what the author calls UFO'S. He and his new wife go on from there to build a long and exciting marriage, resulting, at press-time, in a family of thirty 'children' including the 'children-in-law' Sounds like the 'In Quest of Parenthood' was a resounding success, wouldn't you say? But the numbers of 'children' are only a small part of the story. This really is a story of love and dedication. Two people who had been raised in such divergent family circumstances and culture as these two should have been expected to falter and fail in their marriage. The textbooks will tell you that. But instead, their marriage became a model ofcommitted devotion, between them and toward their children. Are the textbooks wrong? Can people from 'opposite sides of the tracks' come together in a 'Blessed Union' How could it happen? What madethe difference? The author lays it all out for you, and you will become a believer.
