Thirty-one, beautiful, and the mother of two young children, Dana Beckworth, originally from Panama City, Florida, was the contented wife of a hotshot F-106 pilot in a fighter squadron at a SAC base in northern Maine. In the fall of 1962, however, at the beginning of the Cuban Missile Crisis, with the base's B-52's as a prime first-strike target for missiles in Russia as well as in Cuba, her contentment gives way to deep, disruptive yearnings when she meets and has an affair with Luke Reynolds, a twenty-one-year-old enlisted man and fellow southerner. In the threatening shadow of nuclear annihilation, the two of them struggle through a succession of poignant, life-changing lessons about fear, death, courage, and fundamental human decency.
