Little Mister Victory: A Daughter's Search for the Woman Who Abandoned Her Father on Vj Day

David Kruh

On August 15, 1945, as Bostonians celebrated the end of World War II, a well-dressed woman asked a teenage boy to watch her newborn baby. She promised to return after performing an errand but never did. Little Mister Victory is the true story of a lifelong quest, by the baby's daughter, to find the woman who abandoned her father. Using cutting-edge DNA analysis and good old-fashioned burrowing into newspaper archives, ecclesiastical records, and government documents, she was found, along with a surprise. Abandoning her newborn baby was not the most shocking act of her life.
