Marrying an American soldier led Paula on a life of adventure. But a tragic disappointment threatened her spiritual journey.

"Have you lost your mind!" Mama shouted. "An American soldier!"

Grandpa stepped in. "Paula assures me that he is a polite young man. She's always shown good judgement."

"That makes this even more shocking." Mama turned toward Paula. "Why can't you find a nice German boy to date?"

This true story follows Paula and Jack Thomas from post-war Germany to the United States where they filled their lives with work, travel, and a longing for a baby who would never come. Paula knew Jack loved his German war bride, but his care could not take away her ache—or her bitterness. But there was Someone who could.
