مؤلف: J. R. Miller

J.R. Miller was born in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1944, two months after the D-Day invasion of France. He attended the University of Baltimore and received a BS degree in Finance. He also holds a Masters degree in Governmental Administration from the Fels School at the University of Pennsylvania. He held executive positions in governmental procurement and was an instructor and consultant for NIGPThe Institute for Public Procurement. He has authored textbooks and taught procurement classes throughout the United States and Canada. Additionally, he was an adjunct professor at Harford Community College in Maryland and the University of Virginia. J.R. had a home near Ocean View, Delaware and was fascinated by the history of the area, especially during WWII. He was surprised to find the purpose of the fire control towers that sit on the Delaware beaches, the discovery of a prisoner of war camp in Bear Trap, the impact of German submarines just offshore, and the landing of German saboteurs along the Atlantic coast. World War II had a major impact on the Quiet Resort, and this story of historical fiction tells a tale of families living in Ocean View and how their lives were transformed by a German boy born in Bremen, Germany. It is a story of love of family, survival and people making difficult choices. It is also captures how the horrors of war are lived at a very personal level.
