While recuperating, he reads a book donated to the Red Cross by Rosemary Blake, who has written her name and address inside. He corresponds with her, and as pen pals they fall in love. Back in the States after being discharged, Johnny boards a train headed to the town in which Rosemary lives and meets Dr. Leslie Ross, a woman reading the same book. Leslie is going to the same town, where she is taking over another doctor's practice. Unbeknownst to Johnny, she already met Rosemary's mother.
