This is a provocative story about the return home of teenage war hero and war victim, Francis Joseph Cassavant. He is forced to confront his past - the youth leader he idolized and who betrayed him, and the girl he still loves. The book gets to the heart of human nature and the moral issues and choices we have to make.
