"My Two Worlds," the story of a Norman resident who saw Nagasaki leveled by an atomic bomb, has been published.
Sadie Flemig Bozeman was working near Nagasaki Aug. 9, 1945, and saw a "brilliant and intense flash" as the bomb leveled the city a short train ride away.
Her book captures the feeling of that day and those that followed, of her life working in Japan following the war, her marriage to an American Army officer, and her life in Oklahoma. Mother of 12, including one set of twins, she has nine living children, and enough grandchildren and great-grandchildren to keep the 84-year-old counting on her fingers.
She started writing her memoir in the 1970s, and gave her children copies of her typed manuscript. She looked for publishers at that time, but was not able to get it published.
Her son, Fred Flemig, who lives in Minnesota, took her to Japan a few years ago and decided to publish the book in honor of his mother's 85th birthday this September.
Paperback copies are available through book search at Amazon.com.
