story of a boy given up for adoption in the 1950s,
when an unwed mother was a pariah. Maggie

power of the human spirit and the darkness of
the human soul and is the best war novel in recent
history. Not to be missed.”

Jane’s Second Novel
The Faces of War
In 2014, Gerry and I spent three days in Luxembourg
with US Veterans Friends who were children in WWII
Touring German and American cemeteries and
hearing their stories moved me but spending five
days in Normandy combing the beaches and visiting
the museums inspired me to write The Faces of War.
Doing research, I read about the plight of German
POWs who were sent to camps in the US. The main
characters of my book, John Conway, an American
soldier and Karl Baum, a young German are fictional
as is their story
Why I Wrote My New Book
Inspiration to Write
I was asked to contribute to an anthology. 100
essayists wrote about living and dying in
Befriending Death, collected by Michael Vocino and
Alfred Killilea. The New York Times placed it in the
Discover New Titles column of their book section.
