Awesome book about the terror of war and a boy caught up in the pain, suffering and loss of his parents. The story is cruel and throws you in the midst of those who through no fault of their own find themselves in a nightmare that never seems to end no matter what they do or pray for. I had to put the book down several times just to take a break from the horror within.
