Silke Filbert's German family survived WWII by fleeing into Western Germany. Their rich family history is a source of pride for Silke, but it's also a source of pain and disappointment from growing up in a troubled home. Her father is an alcoholic, unreliable, and volatile. Her mother and grandparents don't seem to heed her concerns about family life, and her brother simply retreats into himself. Growing up, Silke deeply believes in a loving God. She desperately longs for a family of her own where there is trust and love, but life seems to conspire against her and bit by bit she loses her childhood faith. Her parents divorce, her beloved grandmother dies, and when she seems to have finally found love, and fallen pregnant, the father of her child won't commit to them. When the single mother meets US Army Captain Mark Sanders, she can tell he's different. He's from a tight-knit African American home, has a strong faith, and seems so at ease with life. But can Silke learn to trust him? Does he really want to have a family with her and Lillian? And can she finally lay aside the demons of her broken past?
