It's June 6,1951. Eighteen-year-old Diana D'Angelo

stands at the Holly Hills train station amidst the

teardrops of angels and the angered thunder of

Heaven, as billows of smoke belch from the belly of

the big Baldwin locomotive.

Michael asks,"Will you wait for me, my love?"

"I will wait for you, I promise," Diana says.

Regardless, war does not concern itself with

childhood sweethearts and Valentines. And fate,

it seems, picks and chooses who wins and loses.

Accordingly, the letters from a world away suddenly

stop coming. And when Tommy, their best friend, is

laid to rest in a flag-draped casket, Diana has to wonder

if there will be another 21-gun-salute--- this one even

more heartbreaking.

This riveting novel takes us through Diana and

Michael's journey of love and longing, life and loss,

laughter and tears, and everything in between---

elements of all our lives since the beginning of time!

"Will you wait for me, my love?"
