Home Front

"Home Front" is the continuing story of Carrie Amundson, whose life in North Dakota began in "Bonanza Belle." She is now Carrie Johnson and this is the story of her family, now faced with the challenges, sacrifices and hardships of World War II. Everything changed after the Pearl Harbor attack, and ordinary folk all across America, on the home front, are pitching in to help in the war effort. The Johnsons and other families like them have now become "soldiers of the soil--America's land army." Carrie, who doesn't like change, worries that her son and other loved ones may be called upon to serve in the armed forces. Her adopted daughter, Livvie, has her own inner struggle to fight and vows someday, after the war, she will try to find her real father. Even years after the war's end the effects of it are still evident in many of the men and women who where called to serve their country-alcoholism, nightmares, anxiety, restlessness and the like. Many lament the fact that nothing will ever be the same again. Only the faith, strength and incredible resiliency of the American spirit endure.
