Short books. Easy reading. Great Canadian authors.
Missing
Missing is based on a true story.
Luc Caron lives in northern France during World War I. One day, he sees three airplanes fighting in the sky. Luc watches in horror as a plane flips over and the pilot falls to his death. Luc is the only witness.
The Greenwoods own an apple farm in Canada. Their son, a pilot, has been missing for 11 years. In 1928, they receive a package from England. The package contains a letter and three objects found at the site of a plane crash.
How is the mystery of the missing pilot solved, bringing peace to Luc and to the pilot’s parents?

War is never easy to read...
War is never easy to read about but when you read this story and feel the human side of the relationships forged during a difficult time it reminds you of the goodness in each of us. Touching story that made me want to learn more about the men (and now women) that stand up for their countries in difficult times.
