When nineteen-year-old Constance Connors, the beautiful and
carefree Hawaiian-born daughter of an Episcopalian minister, meets
a newly graduated West Point cadet, Second Lieutenant Joseph
Booker, she's instantly smitten. But it's not long before she finds
herself pregnant, married, and living in the bleak winter landscape
of Fort Riley, Kansas, in 1934. The Great Depression has engulfed
the country. Desperately missing her family and her home, Constance
suffers from an acute case of depression. But four years later
Constance, her husband, and their three sons are transferred to the
Presidio of San Francisco, California, a plum assignment in a city
she will call home for the next sixty-five years. Beginning in the
late 1930s and progressing through the turn of the century, "The
Bookers: San Francisco Memories" is the nostalgic saga of the
highly blessed Booker family. Tracing the years from Constance and
Joseph's marriage through their sons' childhoods and adulthoods,
author Don C. Becker pens a warm tale of growing up and growing old
in San Francisco. Full of over seven decades of love, laughter, and
life, "The Bookers" captures the heart of the American imagination.
