Awarded the Distinguished Favorite Award in Military Fiction in Fall 2021 NYC Big Book Awards
Nathan Olason picks up the pieces of his life in 1893 and becomes a devoted father and grandfather. Except something from his past is holding him back.
When his grandson, Mike, announces that he is joining the Great War, Nath fears the worst. Armed and deadly, his grandson hones his marksmanship skills to a perfection not seen in any other soldier. But once Mike arrives at Vimy Ridge, France, with the 2nd Canadian Infantry Brigade, the biggest fight of his life has only begun.
Feeling helpless to stop this dangerous chain of events, Nath flees to a place that he thought was his salvation but turns into something else; an old weathered cottage that holds the key to his future.
Follow in the footsteps of heroes.
Be vulnerable.
Would you recover?
Really enjoyed this strong story. This book is a story of war taking us to different countries. It’s full of conflicted feelings and even a little romance. The author seems to be a good storyteller. Maybe I should say a good painter. By that I mean I felt I could picture the characters, even some events through her descriptive writing. It is a story that really evokes a lot of emotion. Some information was so realistic seeming that I often had trouble remembering I was reading fiction.
Having not read Book 1, obviously a mistake on my part, I would say this book could be read as a stand-alone. Although there were obviously characters in this book that were in Book 1, I can’t say I had any trouble keeping up with the story or becoming familiar with them.
However, if Book 1 is as good as this is, both should be read. Hope we’ll see more from J.A. Boulet.

Wow, what an amazing sequel to The Strong Amongst Us. I loved following Nathan’s adventures as his family grows and his life becomes more fulfilled. This book is full of life, love and loss. And even more exciting than the first. I can’t wait to read the next sequel in Nathan’s life! I thank the author for bringing this character to life. - Wendy Nov 18, 2020
