February 17, 1972.
Three letters. One day.
From Vietnam, Dick counts down in alert tours — nine remaining. Later that evening, he writes again, tired of slow mail and ready for the day when there are no more letters to write.
In San Antonio, Sarah counts down differently — thirty-three lonely days, OB appointments, formula adjustments, crying babies, and weight lost on a strict diet.

Two continents.
One family preparing to live together instead of writing about it.
