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.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

March 1945

World War II may be ending, but for nineteen-year-old pilot Henry Forester the conflict still rages. Shot down behind enemy lines in France, Henry endured a dangerous trek to freedom, relying on the heroism of civilians and Resistance fighters to stay alive. But back home in Virginia, Henry is still reliving air battles with Hitler's Luftwaffe and his torture by the Gestapo. Mostly, Henry can't stop worrying about the safety of those who helped him escape—especially one French boy, Pierre, who, because of Henry, may have lost everything.

When Henry returns to France to find Pierre, he is stunned by the brutal after-math of combat: starvation, cities shattered by Allied bombing, and the shocking return of concentration camp survivors. Amid the rubble of war, Henry must begin a daring search for a lost boy—plus a fight to regain his own internal peace and the trust of the girl he loves.

L. M. Elliott's sequel to Under a War-Torn Sky is an astonishing account of surviving the fallout from war.
