Pregnant but not married, WWI nurse Evelyn Gray plans to marry the father of her baby to keep from disrupting the failing health of her grandparents at home and fulfill her dream of a family, even if it means she can't work at the hospital in France anymore. But when she learns her soldier's been killed, she decides she must convince his best friend, Corporal Joel Campbell, to marry her instead.

Joel Campbell only wants to survive the Great War so he can return to Iowa, find a girl to marry, have a family and hopefully escape the guilt he harbors over his best friend's death. A battle injury that prevents him from ever being a father and a marriage proposal from a practical stranger are not part of his plans. But are they God's?

Risking their lives in war-torn France, Evelyn and Joel will need to rely on God and each other if they ever hope to find what they want most-love and family.
