ABOUT THE
BOOK

Title: Handmade Hearts
Author: June McCrary Jacobs
Publisher: JMJ Story Stitcher Books
Release Date: December 18, 2018
Genre: Historical Romance
‘Handmade Hearts’ is an historical romance short story set in New Orleans during World
War II and was inspired by a true story.
Toward the end of his life, the author asked her Uncle ‘Allen’ how he met his wife. He shared about how
he met ‘Irene’ at a church social in their neighborhood in New Orleans in the early 1940s. He had been
seriously wounded in Guadalcanal in the South Pacific as a young Marine and was using crutches to get
around as best he could.
He had many inner wounds which needed time to heal, too. He had no way of knowing when they first
met that Irene had suffered her own wartime tragedy. She bravely sought to keep her grief locked away
deep inside because thinking about her loss caused her even more sorrow. She needed to be strong
because she was the breadwinner for her small family.
Times were tough, but these two unique individuals made it through each day with inner fortitude,
determination, and the sincere hope of something greater just over the horizon.
This inspirational short story follows the growth of Allen and Irene’s relationship beginning with their
chance meeting and leading forward to a lifetime spent together. ‘Handmade Hearts’ was created to honor this unique couple’s love for and devotion to each other in a relationship which
spanned seven decades.
