German U-boat submarines are attacking American navy ships off the east coast of the United States. Touching human emotions develop between a wounded German soldier and the young widow who discovers him washed up on a beach near her home. Sometimes we attach our entire life to the time we were hurt, and we allow this to define and consume our whole life. We travel with that hurt and brood over it every time it comes to mind. We allow the wrong that has been done to us to dictate how we treat those around us. Even when those who have mistreated us, abused us, cheated or oppressed us have died, our anger and resentment do not have the decency to do the same. Our hurt continues to live. That is, until we forgive. Available from Koorong in paperback, ebook, CD and DVD.
