About this eBook

Author Huard, Frances Wilson, 1885-1969
Title With Those Who Wait
Credits Produced by Al Haines
Summary "With Those Who Wait" by Frances Wilson Huard is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The narrative provides a poignant look at life during World War I, particularly from the perspective of civilians enduring the impacts of war while waiting for their loved ones at the front. The author poignantly reflects on the changes in familiar locales through the lens of both loss and resilience, showcasing the human spirit amidst devastation. The opening of the book introduces readers to a pre-war setting where the narrator recalls peaceful rides to Château-Thierry, engaging in leisure activities that highlight the beauty of the area before the ravages of conflict. As the narrative shifts to the current reality of war in July 1918, the once-bustling town is portrayed as a shadow of its former self, with descriptions of the destruction and evacuation brought on by the German advance. Through letters and reflections from ordinary townsfolk and soldiers, the author weaves a tapestry of personal loss, desperation, and a stubborn cling to hope, illustrating the unfolding drama that envelops both the living and those who wait in uncertainty.
