When war erupts there is always a family that is torn apart and left behind to worry every moment as they contemplate the horror that is the daily existence for the people they love.  This story tells the experience one such group in a loving and close familiar relationship that is tested and questioned every day if it can survive as it is or will everything change.The Holt family is living life as normally as possible until the day the Japanese invade Pearl Harbor.  The three children had chosen different paths in life after graduations but now the call comes and everyone answers in their own way.  What has become an act of war against the United States is also the realignment of everything this family will now face as opposed to what it had planned.Martin is the first to leave college and join the Air Corps getting his wings and serving as the pilot on more missions than he cares to consider.  His brother Charles stayed behind to serve in a function he would have not cared to be part of, but his scientific discoveries have shown that his mind is more powerful against the enemy than a bullet.  The youngest, Dottie, has made a decision to be with the man she loves regardless of where his military life takes him and the repercussions the family she loves as they view her decision.War destroys everything including the core of our beliefs on how we are a country and family will go forward.  Robert Vaughan has written a book with such emotion and revealing reaction to everyday that it makes every reader glad that tonight they know where those they love are sleeping
