Overview

Book Four of the Prayers in the Air series by Dennis Santaniello. March, 1918. The Somme. Peter Hartley arrives at a British Field Ambulance station believing in heroism. He's twenty-three, American, has read too many dispatches about brave men doing noble things. His teacher is Davies-a Welsh driver with a wedding ring he touches like a prayer. His unexpected ally is Yvette-a French driver who fixes what's broken and expects nothing in return. Together they drive the muddy road forward. Delivering the wounded through chalk dust and shell craters. Trying to decide if small mercies matter when mercy is rationed by the hour. And Peter starts to wonder: in a war that devours meaning, what survives? The Muddy Road Forward is a taut historical novel about ambulance drivers in WWI. It continues Prayers in the Air and reads well on its own.
