Current Book Selection
Jan Krulick-Belin’s father died when she was just six, and her mother rarely spoke about him again until a year before her own death, when she gave Jan a box of nearly 100 love letters he had written her during World War II.
Join the KJZZ Book Club as we read her book, Love, Bill: Finding My Father Through Letters From World War II. Krulick-Belin shares her journey to find and reclaim the father she thought she’d lost forever.
Local author Jan Krulick-Belin is a museum and art consultant and retired Director of Education at the Phoenix Art Museum.
