Only Forever

Judy Wilson is a marvelous singer with overwhelming stage fright.

When her fiancé, Michael, gets drafted into service during WWII, Judy faces her fear and auditions as a singer for the USO in the hopes of following him overseas. Despite Judy’s obvious fear of performing, the USO troupe's affable but disfigured piano player, Charlie, sees her potential and convinces the troupe’s stage manager that he can make her a star. With Charlie’s help, Judy sings her way into the hearts of the men in uniform and her fellow performers.

But traveling and performing across war-torn Europe with the USO opens Judy’s eyes to unspeakable horrors, indomitable courage, and a world of new possibilities. By the time she catches up with Michael, will she still want the same things she started out to find?
