Overview

What happens when loved ones go off to war? What happens when you are left behind? When your husband is a true life military hero, that nearly every American knows his name, then your landlord evicts you and your four children because he has found out your husband is in a combat zone. What is combat really like; who is the enemy, the Japanese, or your own torpedoes making circular runs nearly sinking your own submarine with your own malfunctioning torpedoes. This is the true WWII story of Fearless Freddy Warder and his Submarine U.S.S. Seawolf. But just as important it is the story of Mary Warder and her fearless fight to overcome depression, sudden moves, shifting shortages, and housing problems for her and her four children. In the end Fred was able to overcome the problems of combat, while Mary was able to overcome the problems of the home front. A truly inspirational story of danger, intrigue, distance, and depression can all be overcome by true love

Another World War II story tale be added to the legacy of the silent service with the story of Mary and Fred Warder, an Officer on the USS Seawolf (and later an Admiral) Their romance and marriage before the war and the beginning of Fred's naval career give the reader their background, and, also stand in contrast to what happens when Fred is fighting in the Pacific Theater. The use of their letters illustrates the affection and commitment they had to each other during personal and wartime crises. Steven Stavros clear writing style makes this amazing wartime tale of a marriage, family, bravery and survival a pleasure to read. -- Elizabeth Norman, author We Band of Angels. Time changes people, war changes them more, with this statement the author brings to life the suffering that can encompass life on the battle field in a World War II submarine. From depth charge attacks to running aground and the many times suffocating atmosphere of a submerged WWII submarine, Stavros makes the reader feel both the terror and elation that visits soldiers and sailors in combat. - Claude Conner author of Nothing Friendly in the Vicinity and crewmember of U.S.S. Guardfish
