About the book

In the fall of 1941, Margaret Murphy was enjoying college life, surrounded by her best friends, with dreams of becoming a journalist. Then Pearl Harbor was bombed. Despite her best efforts, she was forced by her parents to leave school. Seeking adventure in western Nebraska, she takes a job at a POW camp and begins exchanging letters with soldiers serving around the globe. Whether at the prison or through the mail she watches as each soldier struggles with the horrors of war. Relying heavily on her two best friends they plan for their life at the end of the war and she ultimately, with their support, makes the decision on who, or what comes next. 

Inspired by true events, Behind the Wire includes the actual letters of soldiers serving around the globe that were written to my grandmother.
