About the Book

Great for research! This biographical book features resource material for anyone seeking to understand the plight of women in the 1940s. The author highlights the life of his stepfather, Herman, a shy WWII veteran who responds to the personal ad of a New York pianist with four children. In 1949, Barbara moves to his rural Minnesota farm with her young children, including the author. Part II of this short book includes a rare 52-page Lonely Hearts Catalogue from 1945. This book is a great resource for those researching family history and would make an intriguing text for Women's Studies programs. The Chickenhouse Chronicles is a series of cross-genre, standalone books that do not need to be read in any order.

About the Author :
It's one thing to write a book; it's another to live it. Wendell Affield never knew his father. His childhood was punctuated by a volatile mother and an unpredictable stepfather. At twelve he and his siblings were placed in foster homes, his mother committed to a mental hospital. At sixteen he rode the rails out west and lived in hobo camps. At seventeen he enlisted in the navy. At twenty, he was wounded in an ambush while driving a river patrol boat in Vietnam and medevaced home. Affield retired from the food industry in 2001. He attended Bemidji State University (BSU) to learn the writing craft. His Vietnam "memory stories" evolved into a memoir, Muddy Jungle Rivers. The memoir has opened surprising new paths. Today he speaks to groups about PTSD and leads an Expressive Writing Therapy group for veterans. He has led workshops and spoken at colleges throughout Minnesota and the Midwest. In 2010 Affield discovered a treasure trove of family history, dating back to 1822, in the chickenhouse on the family homestead in northern Minnesota. Each day as he works on the stories, he discovers new family ties, heartaches, loss, and victories. Affield lives with his wife, Patti, in northern Minnesota. They have three children and several grandchildren. Sadly, their son, Jeff, died in 2015. Affield continues to study writing and psychology. His greatest fear: that he dies before all the stories are told.
