Falling in love was easy.
Staying in love proved a greater challenge.
Summer 1984. Kat and Russ have been married for seventeen years. It should have been the best of times, not the worst. After five years in Vietnam, Russ returned home, and they began their life together, but it wasn’t always the blissful marriage they hoped to enjoy. Both of their pasts still trouble them; for Kat, a past mistake she can’t forget, and for Russ, the memories of a war that still haunt him.
For years they have struggled to begin a family, but after several miscarriages, Kat has become withdrawn and quiet, a shell of her former self, no longer the fighter, but a victim. For her, God still remains distant and seemingly unconcerned by her situation. Perhaps, God hasn’t forgiven her after all for her past sins. Unsure how to help his wife, Russ tries to pretend as if nothing is wrong, even as each day, they seem to drift further apart. And then, there are his nightmares of lost friends and comrades from the war. Are they painful reminders of the war, or symptoms of a concern about a marriage he cannot fix?
With the past and present slowly pulling their marriage apart, can the future offer them a chance to grow even closer together in their love for one another?
