With the world at war and her love bravely fighting, will the secrets of her past finally set her free?

Josephine Beaumont is tired of being treated like a child and longs to break free from the shelter and control of her parents. When her longtime sweetheart, Russell Caldwell, finally pops the question, it’s a thrilling answer to her prayers.

Then, America is thrust into a world war.

After a whirlwind trip to the altar, Russell enlists and is sent overseas, leaving Josephine behind to keep the home fires burning - and manage a neighboring farm when the owners are forced to move away. As local Japanese Americans are rounded up and given the choice to work the farm or face internment, Josephine feels the weight of her obligation. The job she’s taken on is fraught with both heavy responsibility and no small measure of guilt.

On top of that, a long-held secret challenges everything Josephine has ever believed about herself. When exposed, it could tear her family apart.

Can she overcome adversity and forge a life for herself in the midst of war? And when Russell finally returns, will he find a completely different woman than the one he married?
