THE SAN FRANCISCAN

It was a time of war. But it was also a time of exploration and excitement especially in San Francisco always one of the most romantic cities in the world. Young couples separated by circumstances beyond their control relied upon V-mail (instead of E-mail) to communicate their passions. Instead of Hip Hop there was the Hop House. There and the USO were the places to go-to dance flirt and maybe find a special sweetheart. This universal love story by Florence Gold speaks of sweetness and sorrow alienation and forgiveness in a more innocent but no less perilous time in our world history.
