This is the story of one small-town family among millions in America who fought two wars from 1942 to the end of 1945: one on the battlefields, the other on the home front. They gave up their boys to the harsh realities of war while at the same time sacrificing the few luxuries of life that the poor and middle class could afford - anything that was required to support their fathers, sons and brothers in uniform was embraced in a spirit of patriotism America had perhaps never seen before and may never experience again.

Growing up on the streets of Hartford, Connecticut, in the tumultuous 1960s was a challenge in itself. For Logan, it meant having sharp wits, rock-solid values, and pride. But when he meets a girl who captures his heart with a single glance, he is torn between the neighborhood he knows - the place he belongs - and a world of wealth beyond his dreams in a mansion at Fenwick on the shores of Long Island Sound. When disloyalty crushes his fantasy, he finds a new life as a newspaperman covering the violence and divisiveness of racial unrest in the City and the bloody Vietnam conflict.
