      About This Book

      A Tender Story of Young Love — Kathie was only sixteen that unforgettable English summer of 1943--too young to be involved in her country's desperate struggle against the Germans...too young to fall in love. — Then one day she found Johnny--his young-old face framed in a shock of bright blond hair--playing the organ in her village church. — And love and terror swept into her life.

      For Johnny was a rear gunner on a Lancaster bomber. Night after nigtht he flew deep into Germany. One night, like so many of his friekds, he would probably not come back.
