Young Bram and Sarah Clyburn are about to end their marriage and go their separate ways-- a big mistake in the minds of Bram's grandparents, Evvie and Edgar, the same mistake they almost made many decades ago.
Evvie's family had come to Texas from the dust bowl of Oklahoma, looking for opportunity but finding only hardship in the waning days of the Depression. Desperate times sometimes require desperate measures, and Evvie took them-- measures that shamed her and threatened Edgar's love. But during the war years of sacrifice and separation they learned that their love could surmount anything-- even Evvie's shameful past.
After sixty-five years, they share their shocking story for the first time. Will it be enough to save Bram and Sarah's marriage?
