About the Book:

Two young women travel to Miami, Florida at the start of WWII to work as censors for the U.S. government, with hilarious results as military officialdom tries to remain aloof in the face of youth, vitality, and joie de vivre.  This humorous memoir set in the Office of Censorship in Miami and then in New York, may be about cutting, editing, abridging, and purging written materials, but this time around, it’s completely uncensored. Enjoy!
