About this book
During the London Blitz, young David is evacuated from the city to his grandparents' farm in East Anglia, where the quiet countryside feels strange and lonely. His world expands when American pilots and crew from the U.S. Eighth Air Force arrive at nearby airfields, sparking an unlikely friendship with a Texas airman. As the war intensifies, David must navigate the difficulties of being far from home while learning about courage, loss, and hope.
