On June 6th, 2024, the 80th anniversary of D-Day, my new historical fiction novel will be released. Your Forgotten Sons details the life of Sergeant Joseph “Bud” Richardville who was drafted into the Graves Registration Service as the Allies prepared for the invasion of Europe.
Bud’s story came to me via a packet of letters in a Ziplock bag, correspondences that were lovingly preserved by his family members and entrusted to me in the hope that I would tell Bud’s story and that of the men with whom he served.
And now I have.
I want to thank the artsists at Next Chapter Publishing for producing such a lovely and poignant cover.
Your Forgotten Sons
Inspired by a true story
Bud Richardville is inducted into the Army as the United States prepares for the invasion of Europe in 1943. A chance comment has Bud assigned to the Graves Registration Service where his unit is tasked with locating, identifying, and burying the dead. Bud ships out, leaving behind his new wife, Lorraine, a mysterious woman who has stolen his heart but whose secretive nature and shadowy past leave many unanswered questions. When Bud and his men hit the beach at Normandy, they are immediately thrust into the horrors of what working in a graves unit entails. Bud is beaten down by the gruesome demands of his job and losses in his personal life, but then he meets Eva, an optimistic soul who despite the war can see a positive future. Will Eva’s love be enough to save him?
