The early 1900s were a time of great turmoil in both North America and Europe—two great wars devastated the lives of all. As if that were not enough, the Great Depression threw the world into chaos, the Spanish Flu decimated populations, and the Dust Bowl disrupted all of North America. Everywhere, there was a terrible struggle just to survive. People looked to the USA and Canada for a better life, and immigration flooded North America. This story follows one family caught up in all the best and all the worst that life has to offer, a family torn apart, striving to reunite. Moments of joy lighten the load, along with feelings of tenderness; they learn forgiveness for their own human failings and for those of others. Courage grows within them as they face adversity. And they experience the greatest gift of all—love.

Franz hasel, a 40-year-old pacifist, was drafted and assigned to Pioneer Company 699, Hitler's elite troops who built bridges at the front lines. His religious scruples did not endear him to his superiors. Sarcastically dubbed "carrot eater" and "Bible reader," he finally gained the respect of his unit. Just before he was sent deep into Russia--where all but seven of his 1,200-man unit would die--he secretly discarded his gun, fearing that, as the company sharpshooter, he might be tempted to kill. In Russia he faced a new problem: how to warn the local Jews before the SS got to them.
