Hadler wrote "The search for my father who was killed in WWII before I had a chance to be seen by him, led me to Ann Mix and the American War Orphans Network (AWON). Ann and I interviewed dozens of others whose fathers had been killed in WWII and together wrote Lost in the Victory, a book that broke the silence surrounding mention of our fathers' deaths in war and how their deaths affected our lives. The search for my father grew into an ever-deepening connection and I now feel as if I know him." Founded in 1991 by Ann Bennett Mix, and headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana, AWON is comprised of several hundred members from all over the nation - sons and daughters and other family of Americans left with a void after World War II. In 1990, Ann Mix began her search to find out about her father who had been killed in World War II. She discovered that, of the servicemen who died in that war, 183,000 were fathers. During her search, Mix met others whose fathers had been killed and few of them had much information about their fathers. Susan Johnson Hadler, a psychologist, began a collaboration with Ann to collect the stories of the orphans when she discovered there were no statistics on the number of children and no studies on the effects of their fathers' deaths on their lives. Mix and Hadler began to interview war orphans, who nearly all reported having felt the awkwardness with which America treated the subject of their fathers. The voices in this book belong to sons and daughters who have seldom spoken of their fathers or of their own lives after the deaths of their fathers. The memories revealed through interviews, letters, family histories and remembrances of their fathers' war buddies are remarkable for their honesty and their quiet courage.
