The summer of 1946 came fast and it had been almost a year since the Second World War. Everyone seemed happy and things seemed to normalize again slowly. My family had been preparing for my fourteenth birthday on our small farm near the bayou of Louisiana. It was also the summer before my freshman year of high school and I wasn’t at all excited about it. I was a peculiar young girl, curious in the sense.

Yes I’m very happy Mrs. Fürst”
As my parents and the other neighbors began conversation with the new neighbors I continued on with celebration amongst my friends.
The party came to an end as dusk approached and I went to my room and began to day dream about this woman. I just couldn’t get her out of my mind.
