Callanan writes a hauntingly beautiful tale, part fact and part fiction, of a young bomb disposal soldier sent to Alaska during World War II to locate Japanese bomb balloons. Callanan takes a piece of little-known history and weaves it into a story of faith, first love and the paths we follow to become who we are. If the story of hot-air balloon bombs doesn't catch your interest, read it for the dynamic characters and the breathtaking scenic descriptions of wild Alaska.
