Join the Wood County District Public Library to meet local author Edmund A. Kruszynski on Thursday at 2 p.m. He will talk about his book, “The Medic’s Wife,” and books will be available to purchase during a book signing.

“The Medic’s Wife” is based on a true story about a courageous WWII combat media and the spry widow who ensured his valor was not forgotten.

Kruszynski was born in Cleveland to second-generation Polish immigrants. He became the second college graduate in his family and spent 32 years in corporate America. He had always been curious about his father’s WWII service but after his father’s death he assumed those stories would remain untold.

That was until a box was unearthed containing priceless war-time correspondences between his father and mother during the war. At first Kruszynski thought he would create a nice family narrative, but soon discovered that his father, a WWII combat medic, witnessed the horrors of the Holocaust first-hand and “The Medic’s Wife” was born.
