It is the summer after the Big War and, while most veterans are racing
back to setup housekeeping, Jerry Keenan finds himself unattached,
unable to settle down, and suffering nightmares form his wartime
experiences.
Enter Andrea King, an eighteen-year-old war widow. Finding her
irresistible, Keenan embarks on a love affair so passionate that it
re-awakens him to life and to God. Then, just when life looks rosiest,
Andrea disappears. In searching for her, he uncovers her miserable past
(and her real name, Maggie Ward) as an abused child and an abused wife.
When he finally locates her, his quest focuses on winning the beautiful
Maggie as his wife.
