War claimed Daphne Kelley's young husband, but it couldn't keep Raymond - and his abiding love - from being with her when she needed him most. First told in Tom Brokaw's landmark bestseller, The Greatest Generation, Daphne and Raymond Kelley's story provides what New York Times book reviewer Michael Lind called, "perhaps the most compelling" love story in Brokaw's book. Taking its title from a poem newlywed Daphne sent her soldier-husband during World War II, When You Come Home tells of their young love in the heartland at the brink of war, and of the crushing uncertainty and fear as they find themselves a world apart. When her poem comes back to Daphne - blood-stained by Raymond's mortal wounds - she accepts the loss. And yet, through her pain, the grieving young widow finds that her faith provides hope and healing amidst the wounds of war. Perhaps the most moving story (in The Greatest Generation) is that of Daphne Cavin, whose husband, Raymond Kelley, went to war only months after their marriage. The paper on which Daphne's sonnet is written is stained with the blood of Raymond's mortal wounds.'' - Tom Brokaw
