Someday ... You’Ll Know!


Book Description

Many World War II veterans returned to the United States of America and wrote autobiographies and memoirs about their life adventures. Gold Star children also wrote memories of their fathers, with some seeking to learn more about men who never returned home. But children who were products of short-term affairs during this time often knew little about their fathers. This book describes Richard L. Hartness Sr.’s quest to learn more about his dad – as well as his mother’s plan to reveal his father’s name on her own timetable. Growing up, the author felt that his mom’s husband was not his father. When he asked her about his dad, she replied, “He went off to war and never came back.” When he pressed her for more information, she’d say, “Someday, you’ll know.” That day finally came for the author, and this memoir highlights his search for the truth along with his family’s riveting history.

Book Description

From the author of Blind, a heart-wrenching coming-of-age story set during World War II in Shanghai, one of the only places Jews without visas could find refuge. Warsaw, Poland. The year is 1940 and Lillia is fifteen when her mother, Alenka, disappears and her father flees with Lillia and her younger sister, Naomi, to Shanghai, one of the few places that will accept Jews without visas. There they struggle to make a life; they have no money, there is little work, no decent place to live, a culture that doesn't understand them. And always the worry about Alenka. How will she find them? Is she still alive? Meanwhile Lillia is growing up, trying to care for Naomi, whose development is frighteningly slow, in part from malnourishment. Lillia finds an outlet for her artistic talent by making puppets, remembering the happy days in Warsaw when her family was circus performers. She attends school sporadically, makes friends with Wei, a Chinese boy, and finds work as a performer at a "gentlemen's club" without her father's knowledge. But meanwhile the conflict grows more intense as the Americans declare war and the Japanese force the Americans in Shanghai into camps. More bombing, more death. Can they survive, caught in the crossfire?
