In 1944, on the eve of the Normandy Invasion, sailors John Hart and David Beal savor their last stint at liberty in London. There they meet Sally, a beautiful artist, who brings them together in ways the sailors never thought possible, allowing their friendship to deepen into a soul-searing love. But in the chaos and carnage of D-Day, John and David are separated, both believing the other is dead. For more than sixty-five years, they lead lives of quiet desperation. But fate has other plans for these heroes, and the men, now octogenarians, find themselves with a remarkable second chance to recapture what they lostif they can overcome the forces determined to stand in their way. This tender and uplifting love story shoots right to the core of bigotry, tolerance, and diversity, examining with a fresh perspective the public and private wars we all fight and illuminating the triumphant resilience of love.
