The battles of WW II are thousands of miles from the quiet Sandhills of Nebraska ... or are they? When the young man CJ Jackson loves like a son is called to the front, she is forced to face the feelings she has for his father. A soldier captures Josephine Hale's heart, but she doesn't dare reveal her feelings, for Dieter is a prisoner of war at Fort Robinson who wears the enemy's uniform. Helen's wounded husband has returned from the war, but his scars mean that his toughest battles have yet to be fought. Some say that the sweetest victories in life are often won close to home, but will CJ, Jo, and Helen, find what they long for most-or will it remain just beyond their grasp?
