Herman: 1940s Lonely Hearts Search

By Wendell Affield

Great for research! This biographical book features resource material for anyone seeking to understand the plight of women in the 1940s.

The author highlights the life of his stepfather, Herman, a shy WWII veteran who responds to the personal ad of a New York pianist with four children. In 1949, Barbara moves to his rural Minnesota farm with her young children, including the author.

Part II of this short book includes a rare 52-page Lonely Hearts Catalogue from 1945. This book is a great resource for those researching family history and would make an intriguing text for Women's Studies programs.

The Chickenhouse Chronicles is a series of cross-genre, standalone books that do not need to be read in any order.
