Summary:
"September 1939: 14 year-old Stephen, his mother French, his father, English, is living with his family in Nieppe, Northern France. His mother battles with encroaching blindness. They fail to escape the advancing German army. Stephen and his friend Marcel embark upon their great adventure: collecting souvenirs from strafed convoys and crashed Messerschmitts. But their world turns dark when they are arrested and imprisoned for sabotage and threatened with deportation or the firing squad. Upon his release, and still only 16, Stephen is recruited by the French Resistance. Growing up under the threat of imminent betrayal, he learns the arts of clandestine warfare, and -- in a moment that haunts him still -- how to kill. For his service in the French Resistance Stephen Grady was awarded the Croix de Guerre and the American Medal of Freedom"--Provided by publisher.
