Book Commemorates Nazi Germany's surrender on May 8, 1945

BLACK MOUNTAIN, N.C. - May 2, 2020 - PRLog -- Challenges on the Home Front, World War II has been reprinted and enlarged to include the memoirs of 35 writers who related their experiences in The United States, Belgium, England and Wales,  Germany, Finland, The Netherlands, and The West Indies, more than 75 years ago. .
Editor Peggy Ellis assembled this collection of stories that tell how ordinary citizens faced the challenges at home while their menfolk went to war. "From 1939 through the end of the war, we learned that war is not only bombs and battleships, firearms and foxholes, it is also the support the military received from people, both on the home front and in the military, who are not involved in battles."
People who had dealt with the difficulties of the worldwide Great Depression faced an uncertain future, coped with rationing, and undertook new roles in the workforce. The titles of the chapters reflect the personal challenges faced by the writers. Whether relating working as a boilermaker, or being a Miss Junior Red Cross, or spending Christmas in wartime England, entertaining as a USO morale booster, or recalling life in a German Village, each person did their best.
Peggy Ellis has been a freelance editor for many years and also writes short fiction and memoirs. Her work has been published in nationally-distributed magazines and the RPG Digest, and on-line e-zine.
Challenges on the Home Front is available on Amazon.com in paperback and on Kindle.
