About this listen

 As the Civil War engulfs the United States, the quiet town of Leauvite sends its young men off to battle, including Peter Junior and Richard Kildene. While they fight, Betty Ballard transforms from a carefree child into a determined young woman. After suffering a wound, Peter Junior finds solace and purpose in Bettys fathers art studio, where he discovers his passion for painting. In a moment of hope, he proposes to her, promising to return from France. Betty eagerly agrees to wait, but Richard, now working on the railways, expects the same loyalty from her. As tensions rise and expectations clash, their lives become intertwined in unexpected ways, leading to complications that will test love and resolve.
