Anchored in\u003cbr\u003e the letters that Dorothy Thigpen and Edmund Shea\u003cbr\u003e exchanged between 1916 and 1920, the narrative recounts how\u003cbr\u003e they survived the perils and separation imposed by World War I, \u003cbr\u003e and how they negotiated the powerful parental disapproval their\u003cbr\u003e match provoked. Dorothy grew up in the Deep South, raised in a\u003cbr\u003e Protestant family with a distinguished heritage, and Edmund was\u003cbr\u003e a young Harvard-educated lawyer from Irish immigrant roots who\u003cbr\u003e grew up in northern Wisconsin. The book is a testament to their\u003cbr\u003e faith that their love could transcend sectarian division. It records\u003cbr\u003e the mystery of two human beings coming to know one another\u003cbr\u003e over great distance and at a moment in history when the world\u003cbr\u003e changed forever.\u003cbr\u003e Some of the letters were bequeathed to author Sheila Harvey Tanzer by\u003cbr\u003e her father, but the others were scattered. They surfaced over many\u003cbr\u003e years, some unearthed from basements, others gathered from farflung\u003cbr\u003e relatives. Tanzer pieces together the letters, recreating the rich\u003cbr\u003e texture of conversation that ultimately kindled a lasting love. Beautifully\u003cbr\u003e contextualized, the narrative is propelled by Dorothy and Edmund's\u003cbr\u003e increasing insight as they confront the differences in their backgrounds\u003cbr\u003e and forge a new language of shared understanding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 312\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 8.25 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 06, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49188667162776,"sku":"9781934582626","price":30.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0759\/8830\/4024\/files\/Y2U5MU1Pd2g1NWpBSHBtMkJkUUpYQT09.webp?v=1780437059","url":"https:\/\/thepinkflamingobooks.myshopify.com\/products\/mingled-souls-a-love-story-in-letters-1916-1920-paperback","provider":"The Pink Flamingo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
