Under a war-torn sky (Paperback)

When Henry Forester is shot down during a bombing run over France, the World War II pilot finds himself trapped behind enemy lines. In constant danger of discovery by German soldiers, Henry begins a remarkable journey to freedom. Relying on the kindness of strangers, Henry moves from town to town -- traveling by moonlight, never asking questions, or even the names of the people who help him along the way. Throughout his journey, Henry gains an understanding of the French and their struggle; and of his own place in a war that will change the face of Europe forever.

L. M. Elliott has often written about teenagers and the challenges of growing up while a senior writer for the Washingtonian magazine. Inspired by her father’s experiences of World War II and of the courage and self-sacrifice of the French Resistance, she wrote Under a War-Torn Sky, her first novel. Ms. Elliott lives with her family in Virginia.
