Gracie Spaatz wanted just two things out of going to England-she wanted to get hitched as quickly as possible and be someone's wife, and she wanted to become an actress. Her father, General Spaatz, had other plans for her and sent her off to a women's college during the war. Visiting Thorpe Abbotts to see her sister Tatty always seemed like a good idea. The last thing that she expected was to come into contact with one John Brady-all whilst she was crying over her math homework. For her, it was love at first sight and she knew what she wanted. Enter their love letters and relationship in times of war and how they find their way back to one another through it all. Note that this is the first of an anthology.

Colonel Berry

David left the battlefields in the first chapter of the first volume of this story, and to this point, he has not returned to them. He has found far more effective ways to fight the German war machine.
