In the fall of 1941 Margaret Murphy was enjoying life as a college student, surrounded by her best friends, with dreams of becoming a journalist. Then Pearl Harbor was bombed. Despite her best efforts she is forced by her overprotective parents to come back to the safety of her small hometown.

Looking for some sort of adventure back home in western Nebraska, she takes a job at a prisoner of war camp for Italian and German prisoners. Margaret begins communicating with multiple soldiers serving in Europe and the Pacific. Whether at the prison or through the mail she watches as each soldier struggles with the horrors of war and the mental trauma that comes with battle.
