Yet that’s exactly the position he finds himself in where Callie McKenna is concerned. Certain he has led danger to her door, he’ll set aside his pride if it means ensuring her safety—until a disaster of unfathomable destruction and despair threatens to take her away forever.
Will their love be enough to renew his faith in God while preserving her own?

For 57 years, Alfred told his family he had been a barber, chauffeur, and translator in World War II. But following the death of his wife, Alfred quietly started sharing a glimpse into his actual experiences. His daughter first began capturing those fractions of stories on napkins during her weekly nursing home visits, which grew into a nearly two-decade deep dive into his true role in the war—a reluctant front-line machine gunner in Europe from 1944 – 1945.
