Description: As the Nazis storm Europe, Lily Verner becomes an apprentice at her family's silk weaving factory. When they begin to weave parachute silk, there is no margin for error; one tiny fault could result in certain death for Allied soldiers. The war also brings Stefan, a German Jewish refugee, to Lily. Working on the looms, their love begins to grow - but there are suspicions that someone is tampering with the silk ... Can their love survive the hardships of war? And will the Verners' silk stand the ultimate test?
