The Girl of the Foxhole Dreams

Allan Wilford Howerton

4.9/5 (9086 ratings)

Description:No war ever really ends for those who fight it. The same is true of love. Even when lost, it lives on in haunting remembrance, awaiting return in a different guise, when least expected. That is what happens in "The Girl of the Foxhole Dreams" . . . Just after World War II, on a university campus bulging with ex-GIs, a traumatized combat veteran and a sophomore fell madly in love. Their sizzling romance burned white-hot for a time but suddenly ended, seemingly without explanation. Years later, after the sophomore has died, the old veteran sets out to write a novel of his life. When he comes to their ill-fated love affair, she invades his computer and entices him back to the campus to rewrite an unfinished paper for her English class. It was to be the story of their lives together. They must finish it, she says, and find out what went wrong. Thinking she is the girl of his foxhole dreams, he accepts the challenge. After some difficulties, they find themselves back on a secluded island in a city park near the campus where they used to go to make love and work on the story. Their bittersweet reassessments and besotted indulgences provide a wacky tour of the Truman era, a sobering look at the Greatest Generation’s formative years in postwar USA, and a passionate time-warp love story about memory, commitment, and the decisive decisions that frame our lives. The story is poignant, witty, sexy, and sometimes strange; a compulsive tale of fibs, farce and fatuous obsessions of what never was but might have been.The Girl of the Foxhole Dreams is a revised electronic version of "War's Wake" published by the author in 2005. Portions of the original manuscript have been shortened and many photographs have been added.
