Plot Summary

Three young Marines return from World War II to an America that has changed in their absence — or perhaps they are the ones who have changed, unable to recognize the world they fought to protect. Each veteran faces a different battle on the home front, and their struggles reflect the experiences of millions of returning servicemen who found that winning the war was only the beginning of their challenges.

Cliff Harper is a former collegiate boxer who has lost both legs in combat and must now rebuild his life around a physical reality that seems to deny him everything he valued about himself — his athleticism, his independence, and his masculinity. His fiancée wants to marry him regardless, but Cliff cannot accept love that he interprets as pity, and his pride and anger threaten to destroy the very relationships that could save him.

Perry Kincheloe comes from a wealthy family and returns to find that the privileged life he left behind now feels hollow and meaningless after the intensity and camaraderie of military service. He drifts through his days, unable to connect with civilians who cannot understand what he has experienced, drinking too much and searching for a purpose that the comfortable world of his parents cannot provide.

William Tabeshaw is a tough, wisecracking Marine who masks his own inner turmoil with humor and bravado. When the three veterans encounter Pat Ruscomb, a young war widow who is herself struggling with grief and the challenge of building a new life, their intertwined stories create a tapestry of postwar experience that captures both the pain and the hope of a nation emerging from the greatest conflict in history.
