The end of World War II may be nearing, but for nineteen-year-old bomber pilot, Henry Forester, the conflict is still raging. Shot down behind enemy lines in France, Henry endured a dangerous trek to freedom, relying on the heroism of ordinary civilians and Resistance fighters to stay alive. But after returning home to Virginia, Henry is still reliving his struggles. And he can't stop worrying about the safety of those who helped him escape-most of all, one solemn French boy, Pierre, who because of Henry, may have lost everything. When Henry returns to France to find Pierre, he is stunned by the aftermath of combat: starvation, food shortages, political upheaval, and cities shattered by Allied bombing. Amidst the rubble of war, Henry must begin a daring search for a lost boy-and a fight to regain his own internal peace. A stunning sequel to L.M. Elliott's Under a War-Torn Sky.
