He realized that what his wife had written was a universal story that should be known in the world. That's when he explained his idea to Jean and the two started working on turning all her diaries into a book.
Jean also convinced her parents to join in on the project and tell their stories. They spoke from the heart, explaining what it felt like to be torn apart and then reunited with the loved ones after over 50 years. It was truly a unique story that you can read in their book titled How Did You Find Me... After All These Years?: A Family Memoir.
