- catalog abstract ""This book relates the social history of the military situation of World War II in Europe. It records how many British were dazzled by and fell in love with American G.I.s who arrived in the U.K. to train for the Invasion of France. Although some married their sweethearts, many more did not. Meanwhile, on the Continent, young women who became pregnant ended up in dire social straits. What is important now is that the children of these liaisons should have the opportunity to learn about the missing half of their heritage. Pamela Winfield, a British War Bride who became a Service wife and lived in the U.S. and Occupied Germany after the war, is the president of TRACE, a nonprofit group that helps the children of G.I.s search for their fathers. This book gives her story as well as the story of people united after years of separation."--Jacket.".
