The Bramanville Girls (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781452065038)

This is a memoir about six close friends whose friendship started in grade school and continues to this day, although 3 of them have passed on. Faced with boredom when all of their boyfriends enlisted in 1942, this is a factual and often humorous account of how they confronted this problem. Their dream came true when they were allowed to occupy a vacant summer cottage on Lake Singletary, along with a 1927 LaSalle at their disposal, and thus could entertain servicemen from colleges in Worcester and Fort Devens in Ayer, MA almost every weekend during the summer months of the war.
