About this ebook
While revisiting the shores of Juno Beach, Jake, a Canadian World War II veteran, encounters a precocious ten-year-old from the local village. Isabelle's inquisitive nature challenges the old soldier to confront some long-ignored ghosts–most notably, the wartime death of his eldest brother. By revealing the very personal story behind one soldier’s grave, Jake's Gift takes us to the heart of remembrance.
