Ruthann Cooper can barely remember the dashing young pilot whose
plane went down in flames over Nazi Germany. Having done her bit for the war effort in a munitions factory, and with the knowledge that her fiance isn't coming home, she accepts employment as a third grade teacher in a small south Texas town.
In one moment on the first day of school, the piercing blue eyes of the superintendent of schools changes her life forever. Gentle, artistic Drew Mallory, his own life derailed on a battlefield in the previous war, is beloved by faculty and students alike, but her considers his personal life over.
With a grown daughter who disapproves of her father moving on, and despite the twenty year difference in their ages, Drew and Ruthann begin a tenuous relationship. When it spawns a series of increasingly vicious attacks on Ruthann, she finds herself on the brink of another, more personal war.
Should she retreat for her own safety? Or can she do battle for the man she finds herself loving more than life?
