Days pass as she travels by foot in an attempt to get to one of the few people she believes she can trust to hide them from the enemy. As she witnesses the destruction that rains down upon her and her country, her hope begins to falter that she will ever find the love of her life who had promised he would return after the war. Miles away, her parents are in hiding from the very people that her father fought for in the previous war. A kindly Pastor assists them in their dire circumstances as they face a fateful decision. John has once again been reunited with his troops and is anxious to resume the fighting against Germany realizing that the only chance he has of finding the one he left behind is to assist in defeating her country.

His efforts result in having to pay a personal price. As the story unfolds, the ongoing tragedy of war on both the victor and the vanquished occurs. Throughout the saga, despite mass destruction, the kindness and magnanimity of both sides is displayed. Allies become enemies and enemies become allies as the years pass. Through it all is the undying love of two people who once knew and lost each other. They finally give up hope and move on with their lives on two different continents and yet dream for a day long ago.
