There are three sides to every story.  Buried truths and old emotional wounds resurface when a young soldier returns to his parents’ home after World War II.  Caught in the crossfire of unresolved tensions over money, love and heroism, the new veteran finds himself engaged in a battle on the home front.

A stunning, beautifully written Pulitzer Prize-winning drama about the relationships between a husband and wife and their young adult son.

Notes from David:"With so many of our young men and women off fighting for our country right now, this powerful Pulitzer Prize-winning homecoming story of a patriotic family dealing with their bittersweet reunion struck me as particularly timely."
