The Road Remembered

Love and humanity triumph amid the atrocities of World War II. In the final months of World War II Sam Ryan takes his place as a new soldier in the 89th Infantry Division on the front lines in Europe. Hes trained to kill but struggles with the thought of taking the life of another human being a contradiction with the way he was raised. How he wonders will he ever reconcile the action his head dictates with the way his heart feels about it? On the other side of the war Gerda Zieglers heart aches over the monster her beloved Germany has become. But she confronts the Nazi soldiers who guard the Jewish-only sector in Zwickau and is appalled to learn that a Jewish baby will be killed because of a large birthmark. Can she manage to whisk the child away right under the noses of the brutal Nazis? Sam and Gerda face their enemies head-on but they also battle internal elements on their own sides of the fighting that violate their shared values of humanity. They meet under the worst of circumstances but find a way to help each other through the trauma of war.
