A picturesque story of modern love, old flames, and the long shadow of history.

Armed only with the address on the back of an old photograph and his grandfather's memories, a young man launches a mission with his girlfriend to reunite his grandfather, an American WWII pilot, with Luddie, the Polish woman who saved him during the war. Through the grandson's letters to Luddie, the saga of a family with a long and storied history emerges.

Titled after the U.S. Air Force song, this hypnotic debut explores the legacy of the Greatest Generation from the perspective of Generation Y, the fallout of war through the eyes of a pacifist, and the enduring human desire for love, adventure, truth, and understanding. A tale of soldiers and saviors, of burning and bombing, of fathers and sons and brothers and lovers, this is also the story of what we find when we dare to revisit the past.
