Guy was so happy to find a friend on the very first day of vacation.  His parents had decided to spend the month of August in Austria.  This was their first time there so finding a friend so soon was just great luck.  Guy and Willy became fast friends and wrote to each other throughout the winter.  Summer after summer, the two families returned to the lake and the boys played and became closer through the years.  When war broke out between Guy's France and Willy's Austria, the boys knew they were fighting on opposite sides.  Guy prayed that he would not have to fight his friend in the war.  Can this friendship survive such an incredible divide?
