When journalist Suzanne Randolph hears about FDR’s plan to
bring a boatload of displaced WWII refugees to America, she knows
it may be her last chance to redeem her flagging career. Suzanne
follows the story to Oswego, New York, where she meets Theo
Bridgewater, a Quaker dairy farmer from Wisconsin who has come to
reunite with his uncle and aunt and cousin. Theo’s fight to spare
his relatives the return to Germany becomes Suzanne’s fight as she
does everything that the “power of the pen” can muster to help win
public sympathy for the cause.

Suzanne Randolph’s journalism career is all but over. . .
.
So when she learns that President Roosevelt has invited nearly a
thousand European refugees to come to America while WWII still
rages across the Atlantic, she’s confident she’s found her story.
She heads for the shores of Lake Ontario to Oswego, New York,
determined to make her journalistic mark, but is there more to life
than restoring her career?
Theo Bridgewater knows God has plans for him. . . .
Throughout the war, Theo has suffered the taunts and insults of
others—first because of his family’s German heritage and then
because of his pacifist Quaker beliefs. Now his parents have sent
him to Oswego to find his uncle, aunt, and cousin, and bring them
back to the family farm in Wisconsin. Little does Theo realize the
journey will last for eighteen long months and test the faith and
resolve of this humble farmer.
And when there’s an undeniable spark between Suzanne and Theo,
could it be God’s plan for these two determined individuals to
achieve even greater things if they work together?
