Episode Synopsis

This is Episode 44 of the Love Sweetie Podcast!  This episode is the Season Two premiere of the podcast, and features nine documents from January - March 1946.  Six of the documents are from Sweetie, herself (most of which were written in Lacona, Iowa), two of the letters are from her husband, Lew (who is writing from Pennsylvania), and one letter is from Sweetie's sister-in-law, Florence (who is writing to Sweetie from Kansas).  Season One had ended with the remaining letters from 1945 and Sweetie giving birth to her son, Lewis, in Des Moines, in September.  Now we fast forward to 1946, and while it might be thought that things should be easier in the post-war days, we are immediately brought into the reality that nothing is ever simple - that life and relationships remain complex no matter what day, month, or year it is.  In this case, Sweetie spends these three months apart from her husband, Lew.  He attempts to coax her to join him in Pennsylvania; her preference is to stay as long as she can in Iowa with the rest of her family, and especially, her sister, Jeanne.  The question for this episode is whether or not Sweetie will finally make the move, and take the long trip to Pennsylvania with her son.For more information, please go to www.lovesweetiepodcast.com.
