During the cataclysmic days of World War II, the world was plunged into darkness, and rays of sunshine were few and far between. Many familiar sources of security that had provided comfort and optimism to the people of many nations had fallen by the wayside. The Great Depression had drained the already-exhausted people of their sources of livelihood; and now at their weakest point, chaos, blood, and death appeared to be reigning supreme. Suddenly childhood dreams and plans for success were dashed to the ground, and the world was searching for hope amid the despair of war and death. Don Heinrich and Dorrie Brain were swept up in this chaos and struggled valiantly to find their way forward despite all the uncertainties that plagued them and those around them. They lived in two very different cultures at a time when the world was large and communication was slow and almost nonexistent in many cases. Brought up in the Midwest of the United States, Don had come through the Great Depression, and he knew the realism of hardship and struggle. Dorrie, at the other side of the fierce Atlantic Ocean, had grown up in the small town of Shrewsbury, England, near the Welsh border. Neither one could know what kind of life was in store for them as they tried to sort through their limited options. The tide of world events was sweeping them along paths that neither had known before. Meet Don and the young man he had become as his character developed through many hardships. Meet Dorrie and the young woman she had become through her gentle English heritage. How could they know that destiny would soon propel them together in the most unlikely way? Together they found joy, love, and purpose amid the global chaos and uncertainty.
