The contributors were children and teenagers during World War II. Though they were far from the fighting and, indeed, too young to participate, they were old enough to remember their impressions and feelings. As they grew up in a tumultuous era, some seemed miraculously untouched while others were profoundly affected. All experienced changes in their lives that shaped the adults they became.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor anyone who did not experience it, this book provides fascinating insight and a tangible link to a formative period in our history. For those who were young themselves at the time, the collection will stir memories and stories long-forgotten. It is our hope that those memories will be shared by people of all ages, and preserved for generations to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContributors include: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoch Carrier, \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChristopher Chapman, \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrian Doyle, \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePriscilla Galloway, \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDorothy Joan Harris, \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMonica Hughes, \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJoy Kogawa with Timothy Nakayama, \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJean Little, \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJanet Lunn, \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClaire Mackay, and \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBudge Wilson.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Priscilla Galloway is a Fitzhenry and Whiteside author. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Dorothy Joan Harris was born in Kobe, Japan on February 14, 1931, and came to Canada in 1938.
