Description: War's end is bittersweet for Barb and Eddie Harrington. Barb is terrified that something is wrong with Eddie, who suddenly can't move his legs. Sure enough, when the doctor sees Eddie at the hospital, the physician shakes his head and places Eddie in a special ward for polio victims. Eddie will walk again, but awkwardly, and with the help of leg braces. As Barb and Eddie adjust to his illness, news of heavy fighting in Europe raises other concerns. Will their older brother, Steve, survive these horrible battles? And will they ever learn what happened to their sister's fiance? When the war is over, who will be coming home?
