Monique was lonely and tending her family farm in France, while wondering if she would ever be able to leave and explore the world. Captain Sean Hallowchuk was a Canadian Ace, a pilot in the Royal Flying Corps during the Great War. They are thrown together when he is shot down and his biplane falls into one of her fields; the woman who dreamed of escaping her boring life and the man who wanted nothing more than adventure. Can the two find happiness while the insanity of World War I rages through Europe, or is fate itself set against them?
