{"product_id":"full-fathom-five-2","title":"Full Fathom Five","description":"Mary Lee Coe Fowler was a posthumous child, born after her father, a submarine skipper in the Pacific, was lost at sea in 1943. Her mother quickly remarried into a difficult and troubled relationship, and Mary Lee's biological father was never mentioned. It was not until her mother died and Mary Lee was a middle-aged adult that she set out to learn not only who her father was, but what happened to him and his crew, and why - and also to confront why she had shied away from asking these questions until it was nearly too late. Fowler searched through old ships' logs, letters, and naval communiqués; visited submarine museums, the Naval Academy, and other pertinent sites; interviewed old friends and crew members who knew her dad and mom or served concurrently; and slowly reconstructed the world in which they lived. Beautifully written, Fowler's memoir reveals what she eventually learned: of the perils and harships of submarine service in wartime, of the tragic irony of how her father's sub was probably lost, and of the long-term damage experienced by the families of those who do not come home from war.","brand":"The University of Alabama Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55319099998552,"sku":"9780817316112","price":40.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780817316112_1f997e88-b33d-4b73-9136-001831be1c00.jpg?v=1778672752","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/full-fathom-five-2","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
