Synopsis
When his B-17 bomber mysteriously crashes into a wintry sea near the end of WWII, Jack Jackson's fiery death changed the trajectories of two families, one American and one British, forever, in ways never imagined. It is up to Amahli, the woman he left behind, independent thinking and determined, to muster the strength and means to connect these disparate and distant families. Amahli fiercely pursues this quest, surmounting unforeseen obstacles, self-limiting fears and suspect relationships. To succeed, she must find answers to mend the past and set a clear course for her daughter's future.
