By: Eleanor Jette

This is the story of stressful lives, cryptic conversations between husbands and wives, leaky faucets and water shortages, censored mail, and sharing a post office box with every other person in town: PO Box 1663, Santa Fe, NM. Life in Los Alamos during the Manhattan Project was filled with difficulties, but it was also filled with determination to overcome the hardships and reach a goal. Tying it all together was a sense of pride, patriotism, and communal spirit that surpassed anything they knew before or after those days of the Manhattan Project. Jette’s sense of humor shines through the muddy streets and the war itself in this highly readable story.
