From the jungles of the Philippines, to the relocation camps
in California, from war-torn London to a POW camp in Japan, Oceans Apart
takes you on a journey of love and survival during WWII. Families all over
America were torn apart but none more so than the Hasse family. Facing not
only the enemies of our nation, Tom and Bill Hasse have to deal with the
injustices of the era. While they are off in the war effort their women are
left behind to handle the bigotry of a nation. With the savage fighting of
the war as a backdrop, Oceans Apart focuses on the lives of three couples–
their loves and ordeals– who despite discrimination never lose their faith
in God or their love for America. Brotherly love and the love of a man and a
woman are interwoven in the story of Americans caught up in the war across
oceans and battles of cultural differences at home.
When the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor a chain of
events were started all over the world. One small event is the story of the
Hasse family. Tom disappeared in Japan and his family back in the U.S. was
sent to an internment camp. Tom’s fiancé moved to Washington DC to start her
long search for information on his whereabouts. In the tradition of classic historical fiction,
Oceans Apart is a superbly plotted story of World War II with characters not
soon forgotten and gripping action.
