Soldiers' Stories

Spanning multiple American wars, including War World II, the Korean War, the Afghanistan War, and a war not yet fought, this collection taps at the heart of a solider and the people for whom he's fighting. Each story is told from a different perspective and is sure to connect with those who make the ultimate sacrifices for freedom and the families who love them. Hide and Seek : When an American Korean War pilot is shot down behind enemy lines, he is lost in a snowy forest and forced to play a macabre game of hide and seek with the Chinese Army in order to survive. The Night Aliens Arrive: While playing tag with my pals, I witness aliens crashing to earth, but no one believes me. Later, when they show up in our barn--injured and desperate, I need to follow Papa's orders and come to their aid before Grandpa kills them for being Nazis. The Divide: A hidden gate leads twelve-year-old Conner down a domino path of worsening circumstances and places him at the center of a possible war. The Leg: Newly crippled, I didn't want to scare my six-year-old. He hasn't seen me since I deployed to Afghanistan. But when we meet at the airport, he has a surprise for me.
