German forces have destroyed everything dear to

Mary Theresa Malinowski--including her native

Poland and her childhood innocence. When an

unexpected gift sends her to America, her path

crosses that of Nelson Thomas, an embittered vet-

eran whose own plans met a swift death on the

battlefields of Europe. Now he considers himself

unworthy of anyone s love.

Can two young people scarred by war s inhu-

manity find lasting peace? Will they ever be able

to forgive their enemies? Only then will their

hearts recognize and reach out for an equally pre-

cious gift...the kind of unconditional love for

each other that only God can bestow.
