Based on the first-hand wartime experiences of Dr. L. Paul Coffman and Mr. Homer Jones, two everyday citizens who stepped out of their comfort zones and volunteered to defend their country, the United States of America. These two volunteers were taken across the globe and challenged more than either man ever dreamed. While World War II threatened the stability of nations worldwide, a bond of brotherhood was formed from unthinkable challenges – one having their rights temporarily stripped in the name of national security and the other surviving as a prisoner of war. Dr. Coffman and Mr. Jones are a small part of what is often called \u201cThe Greatest Generation,\u201d who pulled off an almost unthinkable victory.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

When Janice Airhart was an infant, her mother was committed to a Louisiana mental hospital, and she spent most of the next 13 years institutionalized until her death in 1966. That no one in the family would speak about her schizophrenic mother convinced Airhart it was shameful to ask questions and that fears of inheriting her mother\u2019s illness were justified.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Long after her mother\u2019s death and after the deaths of everyone who\u2019d known her <\/span><\/span>before<\/span><\/span><\/i>, Airhart obtained her mother\u2019s hospital records, detailing everyday interactions and psychiatric treatments of the 1950s.

At the same time, she discovered her true inheritance was the many contributions of women who\u2019d enriched her life. <\/span><\/span>Mother of My Invention<\/span><\/span><\/i> explores the unique challenges faced by motherless daughters and suggests that mothers can sometimes be found in unexpected places, if we\u2019re open to finding them.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
