The Long March Home: A World War II Novel Of The Pacific is
inspired by true events, this gripping coming-of-age tale of
friendship, sacrifice, and the power of unrelenting hope during WWII
follows three friends from Mobile, Alabama, as they struggle to survive
the Bataan Death March and make it home to their families--and the girl
they left behind.
Jimmy Propfield joined the army for two reasons: to get out of Mobile,

school sweetheart, Claire.
Life in the Philippines seems like paradise--until the morning of
December 8, 1941, when news comes from Manila: Imperial Japan has
bombed Pearl Harbor. Within hours, the teenage friends are plunged into
war as enemy warplanes attack Luzon, beginning a battle for control of
the Pacific Theater that will culminate with a last stand on the Bataan
Peninsula and end with the largest surrender of American troops in
history.
From the author of the globally bestselling, multi-million-copy classic, The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, and The Heart's Invisible Furies.
Ninety-one-year-old Gretel Fernsby has lived in the same mansion block in London for decades. She leads a comfortable, quiet life, despite her dark and disturbing past. She doesn't talk about her escape from Germany over seventy years before. She doesn't talk about the post-war years in France with her mother. Most of all, she doesn't talk about her father, the commandant of one of the most notorious Nazi concentration camps.
Then, a young family moves into the apartment below her. In spite of herself, Gretel can't help but begin a friendship with the little boy, Henry, though his presence brings back memories she would rather forget. One night, she witnesses a violent argument between Henry's mother and his domineering father, one that threatens Gretel's hard-won, self-contained existence.
Gretel is faced with a chance to expiate her guilt, grief and remorse and act to save a young boy - for the second time in her life. But to do so, she will be forced to reveal her true identity to the world. Will she make a different choice this time, whatever the cost to herself?
