Set against the backdrop of World War II, the narrative explores the complex relationship between General Dwight Eisenhower and his aide, Kay Summersby, alongside the impact on Mamie Eisenhower. Through the perspectives of Kay, Ike, and Mamie, the story unfolds from their time in England to North Africa and beyond, culminating in Ike's difficult decision between love and duty. The post-war years reveal Kay's struggle for independence and her memoirs reflecting on their affair, while an author's note addresses the authenticity of Kay's account in her later writings.
