Winter Roses

Test the limits of human endurance... Frank Delaney's two young children witness their mother's horrific suicide. Trauma haunts them; they soak their sheets in sweat and cry out for their mom. How can they possibly live without her? Marie's husband repeatedly rapes and beats her. She and her young children escape to a small town far away from their tormenter. There, she meets Frank and falls in love with him. Can they bring their children together as a family? Frank is a USAF forward air controller who goes to war--not once, but twice. Daily, he flies low and slow to find and destroy the enemy. The thought of a mortal hit from an enemy gun below preys on his mind. Will he live to be with his wife and children again? Marie writes her definition of courage; she carries on because she must. Fear gnaws at her with every breath and worry crowds her mind. Will she see her husband again? A generation of Lao soldiers is lost in a decade of battle. Young boys and old men must now carry war's heavy burden. All save the lives of countless American soldiers. How can this be possible?
