When Lois went to the train station to meet her fiance, coming home from almost four years of serving in the Pacific during World War II, she was terrified. Even though they had been engaged for more than a year, they had never embraced nor kissed. She hardly even remembered his voice, because she hadn't heard it for three years, except for one scratchy long distance phone call. Their entire romance had consisted of more than a thousand letters, as Lois wrote from her beauty salon in Willoughby, Ohio, and Jack wrote from his tent in one of several secret locations on Pacific Islands, as his Air Force outfit, the 11th Bombardment Group (H), the "Grey Geese," flew B-24s on bombing missions during the Americans' push toward Japan. "Love Always," through Jack's surviving letters, tells the story of a young couple who fell in love through their four year correspondence.
