Now, as celebrations erupt for Victory in Europe, Gwen is terrified that Jack will renege on his promise, threatening the life she has built for herself and their son on the family farm. But war has changed Jack, and he is coming home, determined to claim a place in Gwen's life -- and her heart. As events of the past come back to haunt them, Jack and Gwen find themselves facing their greatest battle -- and it is a fight neither of them can afford to lose.
