Synopsis

This book is a rare and touching tribute by a daughter to the father she never had the privilege of knowing. That is, until Mary Cameron Betancourt came into possession of letters written between her father, Gerard Cameron, and his wife Frances from the time they met, through his service in World War II where he was sadly killed in battle. Then, at last, Mary knew her father through his words—a wonderfully warm and loving man with an abiding devotion to his wife, his baby daughter, and his country.

The letters and commentary by the author offers readers a unique perspective of mid-twentieth century life in America, the soldiers of World War II who fought gallantly in foreign lands to defend freedom and democracy, and the families on the homefront who supported them and prayed for their return. At Last I Know My Father is a compelling story that is nostalgic, poignant, heartrending—yet also sweet and tremendously moving. In addition, it is a chronicle of the rapid maturing by circumstance of two lovestruck twenty-year-olds. Readers will be absorbed by this very personal and tender account of one couple’s journey through the war years.
