When a beautiful nurse and a self-assured bomber pilot meet at a USO dance, sparks fly. The Army Air Force pilot leads dangerous bombing runs in his B-17, The Amazing Grace, over Germany while the nurse, stationed in a field hospital in France, tends to the wounded. Meeting again in a Nazi prisoner of war camp with enemy guns pointed at their chests, the lovers wonder if they will ever find their way back home. From North Carolina and Virginia to London, France, and Germany, this work of historical fiction brings together two people in love who are determined to help the war effort. In an escape attempt from the prisoner of war camp, they give medical assistance to a Jewish refugee and see firsthand the horrors of the Holocaust. It seems the two are destined for each other. But will an injury to one of them cause a rift that can't be overcome?
