Bookroo's summary

Seventeen-year-old soldier Scott faces the brutal reality of war as he lands in Normandy. With each battle, his journal becomes a lifeline, capturing fears and fleeting hopes. Will he survive the chaos, or will his words be his only legacy? As Scott fights to liberate France, his entries reveal the true cost of courage and the relentless grip of fear. Dive into his world where every day could be his last, and discover what it means to hold onto hope amidst the horrors of war.

From the publisher

Each harrowing day of battle in France convinces seventeen-year-old Scott Pendleton Collins that he may not survive. In desperation, he records his thoughts, fears, and hopes in a journal he has carried since his first days as a soldier in Basic Training at Fort Dix.
