Defiant Heart

Defiant Heart

Two extraordinary characters. One unforgettable love story.

In the spring of 1941, young Jon Meyerâ€™s family dies in a tragic accident, and he is sent to live in a small Indiana town. He arrives to find himself unwanted and shunned.

Mary Dahlgren is the mayorâ€™s daughter. A pretty girl, she could have the pick of the boys in town, including Vernon King, the star of the vaunted high school basketball team. To the chagrin of her friends, though, Mary has always been more interested in books than boys. That is, until she meets Jon.

But Jon and Mary are kept apart through the efforts of Maryâ€™s father, who perceives their relationship a threat to his political aspirations, and Vernon, to whom Jon is a rival for Maryâ€™s affections. For months Jon is subjected to a painful ostracism. Then, just when the young manâ€™s earnestness and perseverance begin to win over many of the townsfolk and it appears that love may conquer all, tragedy strikes.

As the country is caught up in war, so too are the young lovers swept up in events beyond their control, leaving both fighting for their very lives. If, against the odds, they are to be together, each will need to find the strength, the courage and the resourcefulness that beat only in a defiant heart.
