| Summary: | At Home and at Sea is the story of a young couple, Becky and Royce Singleton, during the 13 months that Royce, a navy fighter pilot, was at sea during World War II. Letters from Becky to Royce capture what it was like to be living at home in Oklahoma City, pregnant, working, managing the finances, preparing for childbirth, then becoming a mother, all while planning for a future with her newlywed husband. Royce's time at sea corresponds to the Central Pacific offensive. His ship and air group supported every battle, from the first amphibious landing at Tarawa to General Douglas McArthur's return to the Philippines at Leyte, where U.S. and Japanese forces engaged in the largest naval battle ever fought. This is a love story of a couple in their first years of marriage, living apart and maintaining a relationship under the uncertainty and stress of the war.--amazon.com
