This inspirational story follows Winston and Hope Prichard during the 1940s in South Texas. This fourth volume begins with the attack on Pearl Harbor.
The portrayal of the family on the home front accurately recounts the events of WWII.
Sacrificing for the war effort, the Prichard family is also beset with devastating loss and hardship of starting over. They never miss printing the weekly newspaper, though at times, Winn accomplishes it with a hangover. Hope has faith that God will answer her prayers for him to overcome his compulsion to binge drinking.
