Beleaguered divorce attorney Christopher Irvin was far more astute at ending the marriages of others than creating one of his own. So, when the specter of death shattered the quiet complacency of his well-ordered world, he began to re-evaluate his life from the ground up. Chris' search for meaning leads him directly to his expatriate uncle, Roy Lankster. Roy was a decorated member of the famed Tuskegee Airmen. Nearly 50 years earlier, Roy's P-51 Mustang fighter plane crashed in France in the lead up to WWII's D-Day invasion. Broken, battered and barely alive, he's rescued by Marie Renoir, a member of the French Resistance. Their courage in the face of the danger of capture is only overshadowed by a love between them so powerful that it rivals the first and greatest love in human history. The raging war, synthetic insanity and the unassigned immoral forces of the universe conspire to tear them apart. Chris, through Roy's writings, relives his uncle's relentless struggle to reunite with his love for the ages and embarks upon on a personal journey of love and redemption.

Viola Lee and Della Maypole lived a quiet life in a small Oklahoma town in the 1970's until rumors spread that they were lovers. Known affectionately as the Rhubarb Sisters, they were never more than a curiosity or less than normal to their friends and neighbors. Their lives changed for the better when Viola adopted Blackstone Gentry, a local orphan and the sole survivor of a fiery plane crash. Viola and Della raised Blackstone as their own without regard to his maleness or different racial heritage. When the rumors spread, their quiet, rural community attracted protesters from around the nation and became a cauldron for one of the first battles of the modern culture wars. This is the story of a loving family's struggle to remain together while a battle over race, sexuality and morality rages in their front yard.
