In this sequel to Under a War-Torn Sky, WWII pilot Henry seeks out his rescuer, young Pierre. Post-war France is more ravaged than Henry expected, but he still manages to find the now-orphaned Pierre and return to the U.S., emotional problems nearly cured. Historical details will pique readers' interest, but Henry's character development often seems unbelievable.
