Fond Memories of Fonda

From the day she was born, Fonda felt a real excitement for life. Seldom a day went by that she didn't have an amazing experience of one kind or another! A child of the Great Depression, she and her younger brother Herbie had to learn how to scrape by with what little their family had. An outgoing nature led Fonda and her friends into many adventures. However, it was the great adventure of the heart that Fonda began from the moment she met Bill Lincoln. Their plans for the future, were put on hold on December 7, 1941, when Pearl Harbor was bombed, pulling the country into World War II. Millions of American men and women joined ranks to fight, including Herbie and Bill. While separation and the threat of harm were painful, Fonda did her share toward the war effort. The years that followed brought not only joy, but two sweet girls into Fonda and Bill's life. In Fond Memories of Fonda, Joanne L.F. Bly brings her mother's tale to life in a way no one else could.
