Beinn Barra, in the northern highlands of Cape Breton, is as rugged as it is beautiful, as daring as it is pristine, as susceptible to war as it is to peace. It is 1939, and England has declared war on Germany. Canada will march beside her. And the lives of five young friends will be changed forever. This novel is a haunting tale of friendship and of a traumatic war where emotional bullets riddle the spirit long after the guns in the Arielli Valley and the Delfziji trenches have grown silent.
