Bobbie Ann Mason is famous for writing war stories that are enriched with love and romance. She was born and raised in western Kentucky; her family did not have much money when she was growing up. They lived and worked on a Dairy Farm. After graduating high school, she went to the University of Kentucky and graduated in 1962 with a Bachelor in English. After accepting her Bachelor’s degree, she went to the State University of New York at Binghamton and received her Master’s, in 1966. Finally, she went to the University of Connecticut and received her PhD in 1972. Having all that schooling under her belt she wrote her first story, Shilo and Other Stories, in 1982. Mason realized that she has a passion for writing. Wanting to pursue this more, she wrote many books including, a Memoir called Clear Spring in 1999 and a Biography of Elvis Presley in 2002. She has received many awards for all the books she has published, including being a finalist for a Pulitzer Prize for her memoir Clear Spring. Also, Shiloh and Other Stories, PEN Hemingway Award for first fiction, and it was nominated for the PEN Faulkner Award, the National Book Critics Circle Award, and the American Book Award which was published in 1982. Among many other awards she received a Southern Book Critics Circle Award for "Feather Crowns" and "Zigzagging Down a Wild Trail". Her first book In Country was turned in to a Norman Jewison film starring Bruce Willis and Emily Lloyd. These are only a few awards that she has been awarded for her wonderful works of art. Among her many books my two favorites are In Country, which takes place in Kentucky involving the Vietnam War, and The Girl in the Blue Beret, which is a flashback to World War II in Europe Inspired by the experience of her late father-in-law, an American World War II pilot shot down in Occupied Europe. Being that each book is about a different war, taking
