A CAPTIVATING WW1 SAGA OF UNWAVERING STRENGTH. My cousin has been killed in action. We grew up together. He was like a brother to me. His poor mother, my aunt Eloise, will need me now more than ever. July 1916, Clifton Park. Soft-hearted Dorothea Kaufmann returns to her family home for the memorial service of her beloved cousin, Roderick, following his untimely death in France. She yearns to be reunited with her husband Johann, who she has not seen since the war began. Dorothea must stay strong for Roderick's heavily pregnant widow, Rosa, whose unborn baby will never know its father. She fears her dear Aunt Eloise will never recover from the death of her son. Soon, tensions mount as a dark secret arises. Rosa flees Clifton, leaving Dorothea to care for her two young children. The only thing keeping Dorothea together is the thought of once again being by her darling Johann's side. But then a letter arrives. And Dorothea's life will never be the same. How much more will be taken from her? Dorothea has always worn her heart on her sleeve, but one tragedy too many may just harden that heart beyond repair. ONE FAMILY'S STRUGGLE TO REMAIN UNITED IN THE FACE OF UNIMAGINABLE LOSS AND HEARTBREAK.
