December 1943. The world is at war, everyone has changed.
Betty Montgomery just wants it to be over, to have everything the way it was before, but little does she know this is only the start of her story. Sharon Montgomery wants to believe she will stay safe, and though she knows better than to test these limits, she still tries hard to defy the inevitable.
This is a story of how a family must cope together through their hardest times, how sacrifices have to be made, how some people must be put before others. Here is where our hearts are, here is our home front.
