About the Book
In 1943 while the world was at war, a naive French-Canadian girl of eighteen falls in love with an American soldier, changing her life forever.
Polly follows Bud to America with youthful optimism quickly molding herself into what her husband's perceptions are for a corporate wife as his ambitions are fulfilled. Bud's world is her world. However the challenges of being the "perfect wife and hostess" will start to take their toll as her husband's determination for success overpowers their everyday lives. These pressures, in addition to the oncoming cultural changes of the 1960's that would reshape America forever, will soon unravel their delusive, idyllic existence.
In Fascination: A Daughter Remembers, author Karen B. Valdimarsson tells the story of her mother, a woman she began to understand more fully and rediscover while sharing daily the final six years of her life. The author was privileged to have been given a personal view into her private world.
