***FEATURED ON @HISTORICALFICTION'S READING LIST 'WORLD WARS & REVOLUTIONS' IN JUNE 2023***
For the duration of the Second World War, newlyweds June and Harvey Dougherty played their respective parts. June got a job and raised the couple's twins to the best of her ability; Harvey defended the line overseas and helped lead the Allies to victory on the shores of Omaha Beach and the steps of the French capital.
But when peace is declared and the men retire their weapons and return home, it's not long before the Doughertys realize that living on the same front is more of a challenge than they could have anticipated. Because in the war, the couple knew what front they were fighting on.
Together at home?
Neither can be wholly certain.
A POST-WW2 SHORT STORY.

A guide to single parenthood
Alejandro Cruz didn't die at war. He came home. Just not fast enough. Two months after holding his newborn twins-after kissing his exhausted wife and whispering "We're gonna make it"-he steps off the tarmac and straight into a nightmare. The baby monitor is buzzing. The bottles are crusted over. And upstairs, his wife is tangled in the sheets with a man who isn't him. "She used to say my name like it meant something. Now it sounds like an apology." Rose didn't plan to fall apart. She just did. Alone in the dark with two screaming infants and a body that no longer felt like hers, she stopped being a wife and started surviving. When someone reached out-when someone saw her again-she didn't say no. "I love my babies. I love the man I married. But love doesn't mean much when you haven't slept in three days and no one asks if you're okay." Now Alejandro is back. But the version of him that left-the one full of hope and fire and promises? That man is dead. What's left is a stranger with a diaper bag in one hand and divorce papers in the other. And two babies-Marcus and Iris-who don't know how to choose between a mother unraveling and a father made of war. "This isn't a guide. It's a confession. Of everything I should've said. And everything I left too late."Tamamlanmış Hikaye

One year since Alice lost half of everyone she'd come to care about in Easy. One year since she'd battled against pneumonia as much as she'd battled against the Germans. Only now, she was home.

Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow
Every Greek tragedy needs an Antigone or a Danaë. Every King Lear needs a Cordelia. Boardwalk Empire positioned itself as both a Greecian tragedy and Shakespearean, and yet forgot that key player who binds everyone together. Not a Boardwalk fan? Don't worry. If you like damaged heroes, the 1920s, Mafia stories, or tales of World War I? Knowledge of the show isn't necessary. Clara Thompson, like everyone around her, is learning to cope in a post-World War I reality. The reality includes Prohibition, which her father (a dirty politician) sees as a chance to consolidate wealth and power. Her pseudo-brother Jimmy is physically back in Atlantic City, but his soul still seems elsewhere. After her father banishes Jimmy to Chicago, Clara chases after him and meets Richard Harrow, a young vet whose war damage isn't confined to his face. Meanwhile, her father's machinations put everyone's lives in danger and contribute to changing familial ties.Tamamlanmış Hikaye
