A family gone. A love found. A dream saved.
In 1976 Honolulu, an ordinary Christmas meeting between a stewardess and a chaplain could become lifechanging.

Stewardess Tierra Jade Smythe said good riddance to her hometown and its traditions ten years earlier. But a traffic accident takes her parents' lives and forces her to return. She is horrified to discover that someone is working to destroy her family's heritage. Her life is going to be perfect. She has a plan. If only life would stick to it.

U.S. Army Chaplain, Mikel Alexander Braun honors a vow to a buddy by accepting an armory assignment in mid-America. When he is falsely accused of fraud, his commanding officer threatens to relieve him of duty. Meanwhile, a beautiful woman moves to the neighborhood, throwing a wrench into his otherwise orderly life.

Ethel Lewis, abandoned by her mother after her father's death, was taken in by Smythe relatives. But as an adult, she resents driving a second-hand car, living in one of their old houses and working in a dull travel agency. A long-awaited opportunity presents itself, to obtain all that life robbed her of, including love, money, and a beach condo.

Three lives intertwined by hope and tragedy.

What will go wrong? What could go right?

If you lived through 1970's, this book will ring as true as your own memories. If you didn't, it will provide you with a vivid picture of that transitional time. But the human, romantic, well-told story will touch you, no matter when you were born.
