Bruce Duncan, a battlefront surgeon, returns home to a small town in Pennsylvania after World War II, with plans of opening a general practice, fly fishing in his spare time, and forgetting the past. However, the ravages of his war are not over. Haunted by images of soldiers he tried to save, his own near-death experiences, and the love he lost, Bruce has little respite before new battles grip him. His brother, a decorated fighter pilot, is sinking fast and rebels against Bruce's attempts to help him. A former friend begins waging a vicious campaign to stop Bruce from uncovering the dangers that could shutter a local industry. And amid all this turmoil, he must decide between the slim prospect of reuniting with his former love - an Englishwoman who chose her family over him - and an ill-fated attraction to a trail-blazing woman doctor.

A riveting narrative that moves from post-WWII America to battle-sieged England to the killing fields of Alsace, "A Stream to Follow" plunges deep into the crucible of trauma and gives fresh vision for paths to redemption. Ultimately, it weaves an uplifting tale of valor, resilience, and enduring love.
