True events are fictionalized into a novel about young sweethearts whose lives are changed drastically by World War II. Sarah, who was studying math with the intention of returning to their midwestern town and becoming a teacher, is sent to Washington DC to work as a "code breaker". One of the messages she decodes just happens to be about a Japanese ship on which her boyfriend Sam is being held as a POW.
