War bride book read around 1982
Not sure why this book popped in my head tonight on my way back home...but it did. I wish the title had, too.
It was a hardcover book that didn't appear too new. The story was told in an interesting shade of third person in that you knew what she was thinking but no one else. I think the husband's name was John. He sent her to his mother upon learning of their child. She tried to be helpful to her mother-in-law but the language barrier was strong.
She worried greatly for their child's future and what the right path would be as she had observed others in similar situations.
I thought the book had the word "Pearl" in the title but then I remembered that the school librarian recommended Pearl S Buck books to me based on my interest in this one. I wish I could remember more.
