| Summary: | "From the bestselling and award-winning author of The Yellow Birds comes a gorgeous, haunting love story set in the Virginia mountains and on the battlefields of WWI France"-- Provided by publisher. Roy Young is restless, eager to leave this isolated rural valley for university and return with the technical knowledge to modernize his family<U+2019>s farm and bring them properly into the twentieth century. Samantha Hatton, the minister<U+2019>s daughter and Roy<U+2019>s best friend since childhood, knows that both Roy and the town expect them to marry. But Samantha, a daring and ambitious young woman, hungers for more. Above them on the mountain, tending to a lost herd of cattle, is silent Ennis Duke, the mysterious wild boy whose arrival in the valley will upend Ewer<U+2019>s Rock<U+2019>s understanding of itself and its place in the world. Within a year, the lives of these three young people will be dramatically transformed. America has joined the Great War, and Roy and Ennis feel duty-bound to join the fight. In the crucible of conflict, thousands of miles from the familiarity of home, the two men forge a fierce bond. Meanwhile, back in Virginia, Samantha<U+2019>s love and courage endure unthinkable sacrifice in a corner of the world fractured by violence. |
