About The Book

Philip Zumwalt is an accomplished musician poet and idealist-a dreamer. Fresh out of college in 1940 he takes a job as a music teacher in a small rural Illinois town. His plan is to teach for a few years hoping to save enough money to finance his dreams: go to Chicago to become a professional musician and get his pilots license. These dreams dominate his thoughts until one summer night when he meets Elinor Robinson.Philip and Elinors forbidden romance-and the specter of war hanging over the country-put Philips dreams on hold. When he enlists in the Army Air Force the gifted artist goes on an unpredictable journey of lost innocence. Life and death hang in the balance as he overcomes his fears and spiritual doubts in a desperate effort to survive aerial combat in the maelstrom of the Southwest Pacific Theater. In the end a single dream remains for Philip: to return home to the woman he loves.Based upon the World War II diaries of the real Philip Zumwalt this debut novel is a bittersweet tale of the transcendent power of love and reminds us of the immense sacrifices made by the men and women of that era.
