In commemoration of the 70th anniversary of the attacks on Pearl Harbor, award-winning author Dorinda Nicholson is releasing her book &quot;Pearl Harbor Child&quot; in ebook!<br><br>Years ago, I was told by a member of the Pearl Harbor Survivor&#39;s Association that I was too young to remember the attack, and I couldn&#39;t have been a civilian survivor of Pearl because, &quot;there were no civilians, much less children, living inside the Harbor.&quot; He was wrong. I was there with my family, not on a burning ship, but close enough to see the burning ships anchored near our home.<br><br>Today, I still vividly remember watching the attack, I vividly remember the events, and I still remember his doubting comments. At first, I felt discounted and hurt by his skepticism. But now I am grateful. Grateful that it prompted me to ask lots of questions, do some research, and then write Pearl Harbor Child.<br><br>His doubting comment encouraged me to search for books, memoirs, and articles that might support the fact that civilians did indeed live in Pearl. When I couldn&#39;t find any, I began to doubt myself. The evidence that there was a neighborhood of civilians on the Pearl City Peninsula unexpectedly surfaced on a map taken from the dead body of a Japanese mini-submarine pilot. His map targeted the position of each ship in the harbor, and also detailed something else: the streets of our small civilian community on the peninsula, including Jean Street, where we lived and where I grew up.<br><br>December 7, 1941 is &quot;a date that will live in infamy,&quot; according to President Roosevelt&#39;s famous speech. And for me, and thousands of others, it&#39;s true. Each year on that date, my thoughts always turn back to that incredible Sunday when bombs fell on Pearl Harbor.
