As a nation of young soldiers marches off to war,
two women left behind will embrace a final keepsake, a
profound reminder of the moment before their lives changed
forever-its bittersweet images telling the story of an
innocence lost, of a love just beginning, and of a family
that may never be whole again. . . .
For Maddy Marshall, it was a time of innocence. Then on
her seventeenth birthday, the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor.
Her fiancé and all the neighborhood boys ran off to enlist,
ready to defend their country. It was all incredibly
romantic to Maddy. Until the night before her brother Davey
shipped out, the night she danced with dreamy Lieutenant
Tull-Martin, the night of the photograph-when her world fell
apart. Only Davey’s wife, Ruth, will discover what happened,
helping Maddy to hide her grave secret and its undeniable
consequences. Together these sisters of the heart maintain a
deception that, like the shifting reflections of a picture,
becomes a beacon of possibility to be cherished until fate
brings their men home.
