But for the Grace of God
Hans and Sophie meet, fall in love, marry and settle into a quiet life with their two small children. But their serenity is soon destroyed by the malestrom of World War II. Hans, who finds faith as an adult, will have his character severely tested as he becomes a combatant and then a prisoner of war. Sophies mettle will be tested as she battles loneliness and uncertainty; and then when she and the children become displaced persons. Their journeys will place them in physical danger and spiritual peril as people and events threaten their integrity, morality and faith.
