The Boy from Maine

By Nina Osier

Book Overview

Not long before the United States enters World War II, a young man from a Maine fishing village enlists in the Army. Robbie Middleton's only aims in doing so are to eat regularly and draw a paycheck. The Army figures in his real dreams for his life only as the way to escape from the humiliating poverty of his childhood home. His dreams must be suspended, like those of so many other men of the "Greatest Generation," when the war begins. But not all of those young men have ringside seats for Pearl Harbor; and not all come home, as Robbie eventually does, bearing war's terrible scars inside. Invisible scars, that will alter the course of his life forever. His story continues in THE VETERAN.
