Come face-to-face with the raging terror of World War II in this
firsthand graphic novel adaptation of a Polish-American machine gunner's
letter home.
As Leonard fights on the frontlines of World War II, memories of
Josephine and home help keep him alive. As Josephine contends with life,
family, and work in Cleveland, letters from Leonard sustain her. But
official censorship forces him to leave out much of the most significant
action he sees.
Finally, with the war coming to an end, Leonard is able to tell his full
story. In a quietly beautiful letter to Josephine, Leonard writes of the
loneliness he felt, the camaraderie he experienced, and the terrible
violence he witnessed.
Now, Josephine and Leonard's grandson Joseph Sieracki has carefully
researched the battles Leonard describes and expanded the letter into a
moving tale of a young man's fears and bravery far from home. Brought to
heart-wrenching life by the paintbrushes of Kelly Williams (Creepy,
Eerie), A Letter to Jo is at once a tender love story and harrowing
battlefield memoir.
