Her mother quickly remarried into a difficult and troubled relationship, and Mary Lee's biological father was never mentioned. It was not until her mother died and Mary Lee was a middle-aged adult that she set out to learn not only who her father was, but what happened to him and his crew, and why--and also to confront why she had shied away from asking these questions until it was nearly too late. \u003cbr\u003e Fowler searched through old ships' logs, letters, and naval communiqu駸; visited submarine museums, the Naval Academy, and other pertinent sites; interviewed old friends and crew members who knew her dad and mom or served concurrently; and slowly reconstructed the world in which they lived. Beautifully written, Fowler's memoir reveals what she eventually learned: of the perils and harships of submarine service in wartime, of the tragic irony of how her father's sub was probably lost, and of the long-term damage experienced by the families of those who do not come home from war.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mary Lee Coe Fowler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0817360832\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780817360832\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Alabama Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/07\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 286\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.90d","brand":"Mary Lee Coe Fowler","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44071095369983,"sku":"9780817360832","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_48cec05f-6b1d-4cea-95eb-bb631e5f3c65.jpg?v=1685434122","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/full-fathom-five-mary-lee-coe-fowler-9780817360832","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
