New Leaf Press is proud to announce an upcoming book project entitled "GI Joe and Lillie" with Joseph S. Bonsall of The Oak Ridge Boys. The book recounts the story of two young people from difficult backgrounds, who chose to serve their country in wartime, and met in the aftermath of WWII - finding a love that would keep them together through the often heartbreaking years that lay ahead. Through it all, not only their love endured, but faith as well - the hallmark of a remarkable woman who never wavered in her devotion to God, her country, her husband, and their children. The book will include a foreword by former first lady, Barbara Bush. Joe, author and tenor singer for the Oak Ridge Boys shares, "If you like war stories, you will love this book. If you like romance, you will love this book. If you love God and enjoy reading about faith, dedication, and real love through times of trial, you will also love this book." The book is set for a Feb. 2003 release.
