Polio Stories

As these letters go to show you, no one could escape the chaos of the 1940s. With newlywed couples being torn apart by the war, the stress of day to day life takes an even greater toll on everyone. Katie Mae turns to her aging mother Momma Helen after her husband enlists and leaves for his combat training. Homesick for her hometown of Charleston, she deals with more than just Baltimore's harsher winters: a deployed husband, an unfamiliar town with quite the rumor mill, and a pregnancy to top it all off. Momma Helen does her best to guide her daughter through these times, as does Katie Mae's husband Noah. But they both have their own problems to deal with, problems that might just take them away from Katie Mae for good.

This is about an inspirational girl that could , so she did . ( heads up this is NOT a real story or based on anyone .)

Ronnie Harden was diagnosed with nonparalytic poliomyelitis at a young age, and as a pessimist would, she never really hoped that a vaccine would be found to rid her of her terminal illness. Her mother, on the other hand, found that there was one in New York by the time the 60s rolled around, and because of that theory, that's where she was forced to move. Not long after she settled in, Ronnie bumped into humorous, free-spirited Dennis Tiller, an aspiring musician with a large group of friends. However, this innocent, friendly new neighbor of hers turned out to be quite the troublemaker. He and Ronnie got into all sorts of conflicts because of his idea that she should do as many incredible things in her lifetime as she possibly could, but they'd soon realize that with enough trouble comes a significant amount of danger...

Dear diary....

A collection of poems based on happiness, guilt, war, rememberance, and any other act on earth you can imagine.

This is a story about loss and love. It is about denial and acceptance. About living and dying. Moving, breathing. Anger, pain. Depression, bargaining. It is about love. It is about grief. You don't get over the death of a loved one, because, simply put, love never dies. You keep living until you feel alive again. For just as the sawn's last song is the sweetest of it's life, so loss is made endurable by love, and it is love that will echo through eternity.

Based on true events, this story shows some of miracles and hardships that were endured in the mid-1900s. This short story is based off of my great-grandparents, who obtained a future never thought possible for an American/Japanese couple. And Yes, I took the cover picture myself :)
