The powerful story of one woman's passion in a world at war.

Olivia Dunne, a studious minister's daughter who dreams of becoming

an archaeologist, never thought that the drama of World War II would

affect her quiet life in Denver. But when an exhilarating flirtation

reshapes her life, she finds herself in a rural Colorado outpost,

married to a man she hardly knows. Overwhelmed by loneliness, Olivia

tentatively tries to establish a new life, finding muchneeded

friendship and solace in two Japanese American sisters who are living

at a nearby internment camp. When Olivia unwittingly becomes an

accomplice to a crime and is faced with betrayal, she finally confronts

her own yearnings and comes to understand what she truly believes about

the nature of trust and love.
