Josh Marshall is on trial for his life, but he doesn’t care. He has already lost more than he can bear, his brother, Ben. With no identification and no will to live, even his name he will not reveal. The secret that might free him is locked in his impenetrable will. He can imagine no greater sin than killing another man, and he will do anything to protect everyone he loves from the shame he has heaped on his family name. Chains and bars or lethal injection will not dislodge his awful truth.

Jake escapes his horrific captivity as a prisoner of war in Vietnam. Cassie is a caregiver at the military hospital and nurses Jake back to health. Their love begins over a bowl of Jell-O and carries them back home to the Kansas farm. Everywhere life takes them, there are others with the same haunting dreams of war. Some have only one leg and some have none. Some have just lost their way home. Cassie and Jake begin with one person at a time and over 27 years, hundreds of vets find a little peace on the bank of the farm pond, and they learn to reach back and help another buddy up the hill. The best and the worst of us live in these words and the depth of Jake and Cassie's love can be understood only in the context of the world they dared to change.
