1942 – Colorado
As WW2 heats up, many young men from Fremont’s hometown of Shawnee, Oklahoma enlist or get drafted. Word filters in about the wounded, the missing in action, and those who have died. Fremont Pope avoids the draft, but to do his part, he finds a job at an ammunition plant in Colorado while his wife, mission-minded Sibyl, agrees to the move, hoping to teach women what she’s learned.
They’re also glad to leave their cantankerous family behind in Oklahoma. And then their family follows them to Colorado. Of all things!
When they have to move again, Fremont’s boss offers an amazing promotion back east. Their other choice is to move to New Mexico for mission work. It’s a tough choice. Plunge ahead to a lucrative corporate job or help a small new church grow.
They yearn to go home, but where is home? What does God want them to do? Are they willing to give up their dreams and begin again?
