Format: Softcover & Hardcover
Description:
AFTER WAR, NOT EVERYONE RETURNS A HERO. SOME ARE LOST IN THE QUIET SPACES HISTORY FORGETS.
Frank Hollett joins the Newfoundland Overseas Forestry Unit at the outbreak of WWII and is sent to the Scottish Highlands, where danger comes not from enemy fire but from accidents, isolation, and exhaustion. Among displaced men fighting a war far from the trenches - and farther from home - the strain is relentless.
The back-breaking labour helps him forget Clara Bennett and the future he'd imagined before his brother, Sam - now a soldier in the British Forces - claimed it.
A guarded friendship offers a brief reprieve as Frank avoids returning home. But devastating news forces him to decide whether Newfoundland still has a hold on him, or whether Scotland and Fiona have rewritten his future.
