The Real Beginning of WWII

Austin, Texas-based author, Jody Ferguson shares why August 1937 was beginning of the second world war.


Above the Water is set in the tumultuous Pacific Theater of WWII. Jody's expertise on this subject and personal stories about family members are woven into this love story that takes place in Shanghai. The journey of these characters intertwine with the real experiences of Jody's family as well as his own during his time in Asia.


This topic is one that Jody discusses at author talks for book clubs and small groups, whether virtual or in person.
