Her husband disappears 40 days after their wedding, and she only learns the bitter truth 70 years later…

Peggy Harris lives in Vernon, Texas.

Behind the warm smile of this elderly woman lies a deep sadness that has haunted her since her youth.

The story begins in 1944, when the beautiful and very young Peggy met the equally young and handsome Billy. The young man and girl, who were in their early 20s, fell in love at first sight and soon married. They shared their dreams and made plans for a life together. Of course, they had no idea how dramatically their lives would soon change. What was supposed to be a romantic love story turned into a true nightmare.
