The war is over, and Cherry is sent home. Her new assignment is working in a hospital for veterans, where she finds her biggest challenge is raising the spirits of men who have lost arms, legs, or other body parts. Will they be welcomed back to their families and be able to work again? Jim Travers, the woodworker who has lost a leg and was the sole support of his elderly mother, isn't convinced. But he finds he is of critical assistance to Cherry as she tracks the mysterious thief who has robbed the Veteran's Center of a medicine that can help a small boy recover from a deadly disease.
