Before they became The Greatest Generation,
they were young men and women in love . . .
It's June 1943. From New York to California, families gather
to send their sons and husbands, friends and lovers off to
war. The attack on Pearl Harbor seems a long time ago as
America begins to understand that their boys won't be home
any time soon. In Forest Hills, New York City,
twenty-year-old Catherine Wilson knows all about waiting.
She's been in love with boy-next-door Doug Weaver since
childhood, and if the war hadn't started when it did, she
would be married and maybe starting a family, not sitting at
the window of her girlhood bedroom, waiting for her life to
begin.
But then a telegram from the War Department arrives,
shattering her dreams of a life like the one her mother
treasures.
Weeks drift into months as she struggles to find her way. An
exchange of letters with Johnny Danza, a young soldier in
her father's platoon, starts off as a patriotic gesture, but
soon becomes a long-distance friendship that grows more
important to her with every day that passes.
The last thing Catherine expects is to open her front door
on Christmas Eve to find Johnny lying unconscious on the
Wilsons' welcome mat with a heart filled with new dreams
that are hers for the taking.
This generation of Americans has a rendezvous with
destiny. --Franklin Delano Roosevelt
And the story continues with Stranger in Paradise (Home
