    About this ebook

    On the Other Side. How does a young woman cope with a world at war? Lilly is anti-war even as her husband, Walter, enrolls in training to become a pilot. Lilly’s anti-war activities cause trouble and create conflict with Walter, her job, and her friends.
    Worldwide tension builds as Germany’s Hitler invades one country after another. As the United States’ involvement deepens and its buildup to war quickens, the traditional married life that Lilly had imagined eludes her.
    The US is negotiating a treaty with Japan when, on December 7, 1941, the Japanese attack US bases at Pearl Harbor, the Philippines, Wake and Guam. The next day, the United States declares war on Japan. For Walter and Lilly, everything changes again.

    Jane E. Bryant

    Jane E. Bryant was born and lives in Vermont. She is a graduate of Vermont College of Norwich University. Her memoir is titled My Little Life, a Girl Growing Up in the Forties. Jane wrote On the Other Side in order to complain about war. She began to despise war in earnest in 2003, the night the US bombed Baghdad. That same night, her mother’s battle with falling, broken bones and failing health began. Jane walked back and forth between her mother’s emergency room and the reception area, where a television screen reported the invasion. The shocking suffering in the two rooms felt and sometimes looked similar. After writing a book of poetry that contrasted her mother’s long painful struggle to the long painful struggle in Iraq, Jane began interviewing veterans of WWII. Her further study of WWII led to writing this novel. In that process, she discovered the many ways that people’s hearts and minds take sides about war.
