World War II was more than a historical event; it was a deeply personal, emotional experience for all who lived through it overseas and at home. This story covers the times and the experience: the fevered years in America, blitz-torn London, the top-secret plans for the invasion, the ruthless acts of war and the beauty, love, and mounting terror that preceded the D-Day assault on the sixth of June. Brad Parker, heir apparent to a Connecticut newspaper empire, went to war owing his loyalty and his love to his wife, Jane. He meets Valerie Russell - beautiful, compassionate, war-weary - who owed her loyalty to brave Englishman Lieutenant-Colonel John Wynter. Brad and Valerie fall deeply, helplessly in love. Their loyalties fall away into overwhelming passion - but certain as they are of their love - that it can overcome every obstacle - they reckoned without the emotional miracle that occurred on the sixth of June.
