Book Description

Joining the Army was supposed to be a chance at a better future for Jason Edward Terry. He had lost his mother when he was a child, and in his senior year of high school, his father died. Facing graduation with no family and no place to live, the Army would give him a chance. But the decision to join the Army in the midst of World War II would change his life in ways he could not imagine. While serving in Italy, he finds himself in a cave, severely wounded, and with a young girl. He has no idea who she is or how they got there. After the war, Jason is haunted by a recurring dream of a church being destroyed. The war, the church, and the girl are all part of memories that Jason keeps suppressed. Will he ever remember?

Who Rang the Church Bell?


Book Description

From the La Jolla Light: "This is a quaint children's story written by local La Jollan Edward Hujsak. It's a tale of three little church mice (Alvin, Peter and Henry) and the dilemma they face when the townspeople stop attending church. It's cute and colorful illustrations are by Willis Goldsmith, another local. Nothing offensive is found in this happy story. It would be appropriate for any age. However, I see it being more appreciated by the under-age eight set. It's great not only as a 'read-to-me" book, but also for kids trying to master reading themselves."
