Meet the Stoddards, a mid century Air Force family of six. Father Joe Stoddard enlisted in the Army Air Corps in World War II, then chose to join the new Air Force as a test pilot and an almost-astronaut. Mother Francine "Fritzi" Fontaine is the quintessential Air Force wife, always eager to embrace the challenges of raising their four children--two boys and two girls-- while following her husband to different assignments all over the world. For a few short years, the Stoddards are a shiny, adventurous family, blooming wherever they're planted. When they're transferred to a base in Italy, they revel in the opportunity to explore Europe together. During the fireworks of an Italian street festival, tragedy strikes, plunging the family into a free-fall of denial and grief. As they enter the turbulent 1960s, how will they navigate a future none of them ever imagined?
