Description
Book SynopsisMary Lee Coe Fowler was a posthumous child, born after her father, a submarine skipper in the Pacific, was lost at sea in 1943. She set out to learn not only who her father was, but what happened to him and his crew, and why. This memoir reveals what she eventually learned, which includes the perils and hardships of submarine service in wartime.
Trade Review"In her very personal quest to find a father she never knew, Ms. Fowler breathes life into those men who volunteered and served aboard the diesel boats. She wisely allows the people who were there to tell their experiences.... This is a romance, an intensely personal search for family roots, a war story, and a compelling examination of aspects of World War II." - Don Keith, coauthor of Gallant Lady: A Biography of the USS Archerfish"
