Fear grips Margaret Underwood when she receives a telegram informing her that her husband's plane was shot down over Europe in May, 1944. For several agonizing months she receives no further word from the government. She and her three children, twins Donny and Debbie, her youngest son, and Brad, pray for his safe return. Brad, who has a mental impairment from a head injury, made Angels In The Snow for his Daddy to see when he flew over their home before the war. Brad develops pneumonia from exposure to the extreme wet and cold while making a snow angel to guide his Daddy home from the war. A family friend arranges for a mercy flight for penicillin. The dreaded second telegram arrives at the Underwood home while they are at the hospital with Brad. The twins, afraid it's notification of their father's death, conceal the telegram from their mother.
