With a war threatening to tear the world apart, Dottie is faced with a battle for survival at home. Life on the farm, like Dottie's emotions, has gone haywire. Her older brother has left to fight. Her mother's bouts with depression worsen, and her father's late-night visits to the barn are becoming more frequent and ugly. The care of her youngest sister, Emmy, falls to her.

Plagued with mixed feelings, Dottie wonders if she can trust God. In her wondering, she discovers she's not the only one harboring secrets, and despite her situation, she can help others, and hope is something to hold on to. But is hope enough?
