Yours Always, Casablanca: A Memoir

It was November 1954 when I first met her at a USO dance at Nouasseur, a small US Air Force Base south of Casablanca. She was a bilingual secretary for an air force officer; I was enlisted in the United States Air Force. History brought us together from worlds apart-me, a farm boy from Worcester, Massachusetts and she, a young girl escaping Nazi Germany for reasons unbeknownst to her. We would cross continents, drawn together from an army base in Arizona and a Bayswater apartment in London; from a control tower in Biloxi, Mississippi and the Alliance Française in Paris-stretching incrementally closer to a predestined meeting in Casablanca that would begin a life together . . . and uncover a hidden secret that risked tearing it apart.

Set against the backdrop of World War II and the Cold War that followed, Yours Always, Casablanca is a true story that will transport readers to a different era, one where the world was still smarting from the recent conflict that had affected nearly every country in the world. A young American man, entering the service to his country, travels abroad for the first time in his life, while a young German girl begins her new life in England, then Paris, only for fate to pull them together at last in Casablanca, Morocco.
