O knihe

Eighteen year old Joyce had never traveled far from small
villages in northern New Hampshire except for the last year in
Portland, Maine. As far as she knew, none of her grandparents
had left New England either, some had been here since the
1600's. She wanted adventure. On the spur of the moment she
joined the Marines. She never dreamed she would not return for
forty years.

Eighteen year old Bradford, nick-named Corky, had never left
Tucson, Arizona. His Irish and English grandparents had
migrated west before the Civil War. His Mexican grandfather
was living in Tucson in Territorial days.

They were a recorded part of Tucson's history. His induction into
the Marines introduced him to his own adventures.

Joyce, nick-named Colorado, shares her experiences that will
make you laugh and cry as she is immersed in another culture
and is considered a foreigner. She later laughs when Corky
becomes a foreigner in New Hampshire.

Anyone who leaves or dreams of leaving their homes seeking
adventure, will identify with Joyce and Colorado and their
families. The story will be nostalgic or historical for others. It is
easy to love or hate these characters. They are as real today as
yesterday.
