ADAMS, FRANK R. When I Come BackNew York: Robert M. Mcbride & Co, 1944. First Edition. Hardcover. (price-clipped) [good solid copy, minor bumping/wear at spine ends, faint previous owner's stamp on fore-edge; jacket has a few small tears at edges of front panel, chipping & some paper loss at top of spine (no text affected), fading to spine (but all text strong and readable)]. This novel "deals with what happens to people in a small New England city as a result of the war -- but it might have occurred in almost any other city in the United States, so universal is its appeal. The characters are all typical of America today. We all know the same young men and women, bewildered and uprooted; the same sensitive mothers taking on the burden of new problems; the same citizens bravely meeting the requirements of these stern days. You will share intimately in the suffering and the triumphs of two of the most appealing young lovers you have met in many years; in the business and political life of the city; and in the happy reconciliation of the husband and wife who have been estranged for so many years." The author wrote many stories that were adapted for the movies (and occasionally received a screenwriting credit as well), and was also a prolific composer/songwriter.. Very Good+ in Very Good dj .
