Goodreads asked Bill Mesce Jr.:

What mystery in your own life could be a plot for a book?

Bill Mesce Jr. It has to do with my father. He died when I was 14, and because he seemed to be always working (there were times when he had two jobs plus spot work on weekends), we didn't get time to share much. I was always curious about his service in WW II (he was in from 1942 to the end of the war in Europe). We know he had scars, my mother told me he was still having nightmares when they married in 1953, but we've never been able to find out anything about his service, and military records provide little detail on his time in North Africa and Europe. We've made guesses based on where he was and when, but don't really know anything. As I've gotten older, what he went through in those three years haunts me more and more.
