Number Two Daughter Susanna Laird Madden

A military officer and his wife, along with their three daughters, travel to and live in several states and foreign countries. The middle daughter, who derived her nickname Shizukosan after living in Japan, was also tagged Number Two Daughter, as her family lovingly referred to her throughout her life. This is not just a tale, but many tales -- or vignettes -- of the author's life as a Military Brat. It then continues on with her memories, trials, and blessings, expressed in a humorous manner. The vignettes separate each decade into brief, individually titled bites, making it convenient when you want a quick read. Poignant. Entertaining. Educational. Humorous. Those words describe Number Two Daughter. Susanna invites you to sit back, relax, and take a front row seat in this movie of her life.
