Local author Kathy Poulsen Romero will be in store Saturday, September 13th from 1-4PM! She'll be promoting her book “Love Letters from Heartbreak Ridge," which is told through over 70 letters. For more than seventy years, a tattered box tied with lace ribbon, yellowed with age, had been tucked away, untouched and unknown to anyone but the long-deceased recipient and owner of that box my mother. As I carefully opened the box, I discovered not just a precious few, but over 70 letters lovingly tucked away, carefully preserved, as if waiting patiently for me to find them and liberate the inner most feelings of a young soldier going off to fight in the Korean War, ultimately ending up on the front lines at Heartbreak Ridge. More than its historic value and firsthand documentation of events that are today taught in history books, these letters were, to me, of greater personal value-documenting my parents' courtship and giving me the much needed insight into the heart and mind of a man I never really knew - my father.
