Dear Owie Book

Dear Owie is a revealing and engaging collection of letters written by Nancy J. Howe to her parents and sister over a span of several decades. Beginning with the authors marriage in 1959 and continuing through the death of her father in 1983, Mrs. Howes letters, like a keyhole in a door, give readers a glimpse into the overall dynamic of her personal relationships, including an introduction to the familys unique language code. Likewise, these letters also shed light on the values held by American society during the times and eras in which they were written. From details on life as a newlywed to the authors views on integration, Dear Owie presents thoughts and images honestly and frankly from a period of time well before anyone had even heard the words politically correct.
