Not only do they live during a difficult time in history, but they have problems even closer to home as they live with alcoholic parents. Each boy copes with his troubled home life in different ways. Oldest son James becomes a super-achiever, afraid to let anyone down. Les just wants to run away from life and get out of town. Charlie and Johnny have their own ways of coping, too. Fortunately for the MacGregor brothers, they have extended family members who see what is happening to the boys and intervene. With their help, the boys begin to see the potential that each one has for making a contribution to the world. Their family?s love and support will help them to get through the ultimate test of their lives when the war becomes deeply personal.
