Before they became The Greatest Generation,
they were young men and women in love . . .
The year is 1953 and London is throwing the party of the
century. Even though the ravages of World War II are still
visible throughout the kingdom, the world is gathering on
the Mall to celebrate the coronation of England's beautiful
young queen.
For almost ten years, journalist Mac Weaver has been far
from his New York home. America has changed since the war
ended and he wonders if there's still a place for him in the
land of backyard barbecues and a new Ford in every
driveway.
However a chance encounter with beautiful English reporter
Jane Townsend is about to change his life forever. As the
new monarch waves from the window of her fairy-tale glass
coach, a homesick Yank and a lonely Brit fall in love.
One week later, Mr. and Mrs. Mac Weaver board the Queen Mary
for New York and a guaranteed happily ever after future in
the land where dreams come true.
But there are dark shadows on the horizon that threaten Mac
and Jane's happiness and family scandals that just might
tear them apart . . .
This generation of Americans has a rendezvous with
destiny.
--Franklin Delano Roosevelt
