Gasp-producing. -- ALA Booklist
The powerful sequel to L. M. Elliott's acclaimed novel Under a War-Torn Sky is a gripping portrait of one young man's courageous journey though the repercussions of war.
A NCSS/CBC Notable in Historical Fiction
World War II may be ending, but the conflict still rages on for nineteen-year-old bomber pilot Henry Forester. After returning home to Virginia, he is still reliving his struggles and can't stop worrying about the safety of those who helped him escape--most of all, one French boy, Pierre, who may have lost everything because of Henry.
When Henry returns to France to find Pierre, he is staggered by the consequences of war. Amid starvation, cities devastated by Allied bombing, and the shocking return of concentration camp survivors, Henry must embark on a brave search for a lost boy and a fight to find his own peace.
