Twenty-four year old Velma longs to be treated as an adult, but her older sisters insist on showing the baby of the family they know what is best for her future. Any thoughts of meeting the man of her dreams are thwarted while they consider no man is good enough for her. Tall, dark, and handsome, Jack is a soldier distantly connected to Velma's family. He sweeps Velma off her feet and asks her to marry him. Now she must convince her family her future lies with Jack, but will they trust him to take care of her? War looms on the horizon and Jack must go to face the enemy. Their love now has to survive the family and the war -- or will their parting be forever?
