1941 sees Mollie McAllister, her friends, and America emerge from a simpler time to face a World War, that involved everyone in some way, nurses, and the military especially. Though many things are rationed, and everyone must conserve and work, these young women find ways to have fun and romance.

Each day Mollie wonders if she will ever be reunited with her brother who is a prisoner of war, or her beloved fiancé, Ron, a Navy pilot on a carrier in the Pacific.
