In this novel, psychologist and prolific author Paul R. Robbins
takes readers back to the dark days of the Great Depression and to
the outbreak of World War II to tell the love story of Jack Jarrels
and Alice Burke. Jarrels, a young college professor and writer
meets Alice Burke, a promising artist, in a chance encounter during
his travels through the American heartland. Their developing
relationship is tested by the claustrophobic atmosphere of the
small town in which Alice teaches school. Throwing life-long
caution to the winds, Alice decides to cast her lot with Jack and
they steal away to New York to the Bohemian life of Greenwich
Village. Alice finds life in New York very stimulating and in time
both of their careers flourish. As the decade ends, war breaks out
in Europe. With a growing reputation as a writer and as an
anti-fascist crusader, Jack is asked to serve as a foreign
correspondent in France. When the German invasion crushes the
allies in France, Jack is forced to flee and finds himself caught
in the raging hell of the evacuation at Dunkirk.
This is, indeed, a time to remember-a time in which America
faced existential threats and nurtured what Tom Brokaw called "The
Greatest Generation."
