This is just a simple love story. But it's not mine, it's theirs, Dorothy and Henry Collins. It's all about thier love for each other, which came from a time of great strife. During World War II, thousands of European girls married American soldiers and came to the United States after the war. Like many of them, Dorothy and Henry fell in love in England but were to be separated by two countries and an ocean soon after they were married. Decades later, thier daughter Barbara finds the letters they had written to one another during their long months apart. Their letters are intertwined throughout this story with glimpses of their lives before, during, and after the war. This is a story of their love, which they vowed could withstand any hardship - a love that spanned the miles. - Back cover.
