A Love Story to Transcend the Ages
Taking place in America's South in 1941, this story is a roller coaster ride
that examines the fathoms of emotions life is all about. Beginning with the quaint love story of Amelia Johnson (Michele Pauley)
and Harvey Miles (Matt Flood), we see a love so beautiful, so pure. Well almost pure until Amelia finds out she's pregnant.
She is quickly exiled by her father and from her strong Christian family and runs to Harvey who lives with his grandmother,
Elizabeth Betscher (Marcia Burks). There the two love birds can live happily, until war breaks out. Harvey, though hesitant,
signs up for the Army Air Corps and is quickly shipped off to the Baltic to fight the Germans. Meanwhile Amelia lives
with Elizabeth and the black servant girl, Capurnia Washington (Heather Rivers). Capurnia and Amelia become best friends.
About every month Amelia recieves a letter from Harvey. Finally she gives birth to a boy (Collin Burks) and she sends
Harvey a photograph of her and his newborn son. The letters continue for two years and then abruptly stop.
Amelia continues to check the mailbox every day for a sign that
Harvey is fine only to be visited by a Western Union worker with a telegram in his hand. Harvey is declared missing in action,
his plane shot down by a U-boat. Amelia is distraught and cries herself to sleep. Capurnia does all she can to comfort. A
few weeks pass and all in the house are saddened by their loss. Elizabeth comes up with a great idea. She decides to support
the war effort by sending Amelia and Capurnia off to nursing school. Once they graduate they come home to thank Elizabeth
then they go off to Europe. While there Amelia befriends Evelyn Ross (Crystal Hunter). At first Evelyn is very apathetic towards
Capurnia, and questions the friendship between Amelia and Capurnia. Evelyn finally overcomes her prejudice. Amelia
works in a burn unit with a very nice doctor (Brett Dodson) and meets an intern named Johnathan Taylor (David Trenschel.)
Even more twists are about to come, but to know them you will have to see, "A Million Miles."
