World War II ended over four years ago for Joe Martinson and when he returned home to his little Indiana town, he hoped to forget the past and move on, but if you ask his father Henry, Joe never moved on and all he does is hide from the world behind the lens of his camera.
Joe is convinced he can exist in his quiet, uncomplicated life, burying the memory of all he faced, that is until he comes face to face with Elizabeth Thompson, his one true love from long ago. 
At a time when Joe and Elizabeth are lost in a world that seems to be changing before their eyes, they come face to face with their past, and the possibility of a future they never imagined.
As they rekindle their love affair, Elizabeth teaches Joe to confront the ghosts of war. She helps him find a life that was almost lost to him, but she also helps him tell his story, their story, which will forever change both of their lives.



Lost Sunrise

Emma stood in the pavilion, looking up to the glass walls of the building. She shifted the binder she carried under her arm as she studied the large windows in front of her. The front of the building seemed to have no ending, as the windows reached up toward the heavens and blended in with the sky above. She looked away from the windows and turned to the display case behind her. Emma studied the photos in the case, and as she looked at the young men and women in them, she felt a strange connection to each of them, as if she knew them. 


Steven walked up next to her and put his hand on her shoulder. He peered into the case and then turned and looked back toward the doors to the office where the curator for the museum worked. 


Emma looked up from the pictures and back toward the doors. "They know we are here. She'll be out soon enough."
